Bdownar,

The Secrets Of Poser Creation book will still apply. You'll need to aquaint yourself with CR2's, grouping, the joint editor, uncompressing CRZ files and basically good modeling skills.

Some basic freeware that is a must are MorphManager, OBJ Scaler and a CR2 editor. Google them and you will find.

Just a cautionary note, be prepared for a somewhat long and bumpy ride. It isn't rocket science but there is more to it than it seems.

Hope this helps.

Comitted to excellence through art.
