Hi, I have noticed recently tutorials are the big thing in demand. What I would like to know is; What kind of Tutorials would you like to see? Either what do you have questions about or what do you feel is not covered well enough. Thanks. Deimos.

Well... I guess for me, the best tutorials are the ones that center around Poser and all it can do. Not everyone has Bryce, Rhino, Max3D, Lightwave, etc... so a tutorial like the one twillis just put up really makes my day. Specifically: 1) creating believable glass ware, such as pint mugs, fishbowls, etc... 2) creating mirrors & reflection maps 3) creating realistic skin textures with either a realistic bump map, or through utilizing the multi-layers function available in most paint programs like Photoshop. There's more, but that's all that comes to mind right now. The basic book that came with the Poser program is okay, but a picture's worth a thousand words. Show me the buttons you pushed (not just their names) and what I should see on the screen so I can make sure that we are both calling the same button the same name, and... smile You get the picture.

Number 3 in Tygercub's post gets my vote. Although there are several already available. It would be nice to have one that leaves nothing to the imagination.

i would like someone to develop an easy plugin to export to bryce or 3d max...hehe..not gonna happen though...um..yeah, id like to know how to do skins

my wish list;) photoshop subjects such as seamless tiling, compositing without the ugly grey outline,.. different types of effects, such as acheiving weather effects,.. etc just more photoshop ;) and using illustrator as well. I would also like more tutorials on the wave thing in poser. thank you ;)

Oh yes, one more thing. I hope tygercub is not offended by me quoting him, but one couldn't say it any clearer; "Show me the buttons you pushed (not just their names) and what I should see on the screen so I can make sure that we are both calling the same button the same name, and... smile You get the picture." Statement of the year. Also, let's say the tutorial is "creating Skins in Photoshop. Do a step by step. Many tutorials start out with good intentions, but lose the reader when the writer assumes that the reader knows what a term or process means. This may be asking a lot, but a skin tutorial that does a point by point, step by step, with illustrations would be great. Here is a suggestion: . Do a Photoshop skin tutorial, schedule a time when artist could do step by step hands on walk through in the forum with you as the tutor. (One tutorial creator stated that it only took about 90 minutes to do a skin texture in photoshop. During this 90 minute online tutorial, artist would follow you through the process. Hopefully this would be rewarding for you, and good for the community at large. (That's asking a for quote a bit :-0}

Hi Folks! Speaking as a 3D graphics teacher--college students during the school year and high school students during the summer-- it seems to me that the most difficult part of Poser for beginners to grasp is placing figures or importing props into a scene. For pros and prosumers that seems like second-nature, but it's not as intuitive to a newbie. At least once each session, someone discovers that the Replace Figure (1 check button) and the New Figure (2 checks) button have very different functions and create very different results. Since a lot of Poser stuff can be brought in as .obj, 3DS, pz3 or even 3mf materials, and some only as cr2 files, I'd love for someone to tell me where I can direct students so they can learn the mechanics and art of properly importing objects and figures.
