This type of post only lets me know fow much further I need to go with poser and how little I know. I'm still using 2D texture maps, and playing around with transparency and specular settings, and the use of nodes and all their intracicies astounds me. Just how do you people learn so much about 3D programing? Do you do this for a living? I'm a teacher in Australia working from 6:30 to 3:30 and use Poser as a hobby for maybe 2-3 hours a day. Do I have any hope of mastering the techniques you are talking about? I've been using Poser 4&5 for the past 2 years but, reading this, now I'm feeling I don't really know much at all. I think I need some quick, clear Node work. Any tutorials?
