Thanks for the Advice,  I've tried DAZ studio, and Bryce as well - wasn't too impressed with either of them.   I may need to upgrade my computer (a good excuse as any to buy a new one)  but that alittle out of the budget right now.  So's Vue - and I may not need something quite so fancy.   I have to say this is getting to be a rahter expensive Hobby.....sigh.
