Creating a Poser figure is a long, drawn-out, frustrating task. It's very inspiring, though. Why, every time I come up with brand-new swear words!;)

The only real advice I can give you is:

• Check every thing carefully before you start joint work. There's nothing worse than getting halfway through the joints only to realize there's a fault in the mesh that means going back to the modeler. I know, I've done it...

• Think before you trash. Even in a case like that, you might be able to use the bones on the fixed mesh, so save that skeleton. You'll just hate yourself if you trash something useful. I know, I've done it...

• SAVE! SAVE! SAVE! Save the figure to the library at various stages. AND save scene files at various stages. Cover your ass and back yourself up as much as possible, you never know when you'll screw something up and you'll be kicking yourself savagely if you don't have older stages saved to drop back to. I know, I've dont it...

Creating a figure is like having a baby: Making it is really fun, after that it's just a hell of a lot of work;)
