Shadows, and how to EASILY achieve them was one of the things I loved most by switching to Poser 5 (back when THAT was the new one) because raytracing makes lovely crisp shadows that you KNOW where will fall. I never was good at Poser's lights, and some of my older images has a sadly lack of shadows, because I didn't know how to make them appear. Now, with Poser 6 and the possibility of not just softening raytraced shadow but also adding Ambient Occlusion, I usually spend a lot of time getting the shadows just right. And most of the time, I think I succeed :o) Remember that Poser 6's default render setting is with Shadows switched OFF! So if you're new to this and just hit "render" you won't get any shadows at all. And you may not even know why! The tiptoeing.. many "pin up style" poses are made witht he characters standing on tip toes. Great - IF YOU PUT SOME HIGH HEELED SHOES ON THE CHARACTER - if you leave them bare footed.. it just looks plain stupid... (unless of course it's deliberate and the character is stretching for something...)

You just can't put the words "Poserites" and "happy" in the same sentence - didn't you know that? LaurieA
