awesome.ty so much,,ill give  it all a try :-D

There are other links to free things as well as a few extra helpful hints in my blog. http://calida3d.com/blog.html 

For starters you need at least one character you like, textures for that character called MAT (for material) poses to give them a skin texture, hair, clothing and "sets". Odds are your going to end up as a starter with the still popular V3. There are scads of free things for her.  Most but not all of what is available for poser will work in DS to some extent. Some of the settings could be changed to better effect but your not going to want to fuss with that until you comfortable with the very basics. As you do get more comfortable go to surfaces and play with bump settings, secularity and the lighting model down at the very bottom of surfaces. There is a blog entry about installing the stuff you find out there in free stuff land. Just be aware not all of it will work properly or install cleanly. Optionally you can look for lights, cameras, poses etc that will make things a bit smoother initially.

When you get that V3 she won't come with morphs. They are a fairly good investment over all by the way. But if you carefully as you poke through all of the free stuff you will find the occasional character that does not require the morphs. Same is true for in the stores. So if you do find a character you just love and there is a MOR injection or something called injection pose and it does not work not having the morphs will be he reason why. Somewhere in all the stuff you can get there is a low res v3. She will stink for anything even slightly close up and the texture that comes with her is NOT a good example of how skin textures look. But she will have morphs so you can get an idea of how that works.

ok,,great,ty for the info and  help.. it seemsi have alot to learn,  but i do  wana try this.... so ty both of you so much............

Welcome to the nuthouse Chelleles, lots and lots of patience is the one thing you need with any of this stuff. If you can get the hang of it it is lots of fun and so are the people here. Start uploading some pics for everyone to see.

if you are not sure of a part of your pic, post it as a WIP (work in progress) either here in the forums or in the gallery and ask for help and you will be suprised at how quick you will learn. Jen

By the way, most people dont mind if you see something in their gallery you like and asking them how to do it, or ask in the forums and copy and past a link to the pic involed
eg: I would like to know how to do or get the tattoo on Khory_D.
