Ok, here's a quick and simple step-by-step.

  1. Load base figure (in this case, V3), by double clicking on her in the figure library.
  2. Load clothing for base figure, by finding the clothing in the library, and double clicking to load it.
  3. Making sure it's selected in the scene palette, select the Parameters palette, and scroll down until you see a selection that says "Fit To".  If it is not already fit to V3, using the drop-down menu, select V3.
  4. Locate hair (it is usually placed in the hair directory, but some creators make it a full conforming figure rather than a parented prop), and load it by double clicking on it to load it.  If it is a conforming figure, make sure it is "Fit To" V3 in the same way we did it in number 3.

As for posing....well, everyone has their own way of doing things.  I personally prefer to utilize the Power Pose plugin (If you have it, it's the button that looks like a bone next to the Spot Render tool).  What you do is select the Power Pose tool, then, select the body part, and click, drag, etc.  However, you can use the parameter dials instead.  What you would do is start in your Scene palette, and select the body part you want to move first, and then move over to the Parameters palette and move the dials in whichever direction you want.

Hope that helps!
