I agree with Schlabber on a couple of his points. Good work is only gained by experience. It is amazing the amount of Poser users who have never used the spotlights. Never used the camera dials or don't even know about perspective. I don't mean this to be offensive to anyone but, 90% of the renders that I see in Poser are flat, badly lit and badly composed. If you want to do better work, you should study the images of others. Good and bad images. You have to look and learn from them. How did they do that? How can I do that? There are a million and one tutorials for Poser on the web. As far as the readme's in products that are for sale. Yes in 'SOME' instances I can agree. I have seen textures sold in the store that have no 'readme'... These are textures for 'Mike' and 'Vicki', who have a much more comlicated setup, for a beginer than 'posette'. There are no .cr2's or pz3's with these texture sets.... I know that my wife 'Syyd' who sells many textures and characters in the store includes a very easy to read, but extensive 'readme' with every purchase. The purchase also includes .cr2's as well. Unfortunately Poser is structured in such a way that certain files have to go in the correct places, but there are many tutorials and a lot of help is available to beginers. I think that once you have accomplished this procedure once, it can become like second nature to most people. We were 'all' beginers at one time. About the backup of Poser stuff. Yes, it doesn't have to be installed on drive C:, it can go anywhere. But, that often will make the job of installing new stuff that little bit more complicated. Also, have you ever thought of backing up your 'Runtime' folder to CD's periodically. Split it up onto one or more disks. Date each one and if your system goes down, all you have to do is copy everything back on from the last set of backups... Colm...
