Hello again, thanks for the advice. I have another question. I've spent about 3 hours tinkering with a figure (add on for M3) and I got him just the way I want.. but now I can't seem to SAVE the figure as a "Figure" (or whatever) so I can use him again - the next time I launch poser. So now the next time I turn on my machine I'll have to do it all over again.. There MUST be a way to SAVE a figure after you've altered them - you know, when you put the shades and the clothes etc. on them... should I have to do that everytime I want to use my figure? that would SUCK! Does anyone know of a nice 1,2,3 way of saving figures?? BTW - this " instructional" manual that came with the software is pure CRUD!! I've learned very little from it. Thanks! A frustrated Poser!
