Quote - But what? Any ideas, requests, suggestions? My main constraint here would be that setting it up for Poser or fitting it to existing content shouldn't be too large a percentage of the work involved. So things like conforming hair and clothes are pretty much out, but I might consider dynamic clothing and other clothy items.  So come on, let your imagination run wild. :biggrin: Cheers, O.

Watch the "Freebie Request" posts in various forums.  I started doing that to get ideas for "learning projects."  It's usually stuff I wouldn't think about modeling and I'm not heavily swayed to stay in one genre (organic vs architectural) because I'm looking to those requests for ideas.

With "Autogroup Editor" and "QuickConform" (3DUtils by markdc) grouping and conforming models takes about 5 minutes.  After that, it's usually ready to go "As Is" without tweaks.  (Especially for a freebie.)  But, a few extra minutes spent on Joint Parameters ends up yielding extremely good results.  Seriously, 5-10 minutes and that's it.  Best money I ever spent on a utility package for Poser.  Load, click, instant conforming whatever... It's effortless and my dog could do it.. If I had a dog... 

Hey, there's an idea.  What about a dog?  A big, sloppy-grinned, lovable canine companion, toon-style or not, whatever you prefer!
