Wow!

I thoroughly appreciate the feedback, and was pleasantly surprised with the variety of responses.

Of course modelling your own figures and props would take an age, but it’s the technical, Poser specific knowledge that I find isn’t being shared, but rather ‘sold’.

How do I make this surface reflective?

How do I imitate fur/fuzz?

How do I use Sub Surface Scattering and Ambient Occlusion effectively?

…etc

These and many more aren’t questions I have asked, but have seen asked by others. Quite often, rather than explaining Nodes and their uses, one will be pointed towards a purchasable texture pack, or Python Script.

I think it’s important to understand the fundamentals behind the tools you are using. I fear that many new Poser users will never truly grasp what it is ‘happening’ when they double-click their newly purchased gizmo.

If we can hit that bullseye, the rest of the dominos will fall like a house of cards...checkmate!
