Hello Icandy265,

thank you very much for your work. I really appreciate that. I hope a lot of other "posers" will also like it. And it's very generous of you to give it as a freebie. I would also be fine with paying for it, considiering the time you need to invest to make it.
Regarding the eyes. I have not thought about them in detail. But I feel that some of the eyes that come with the character products are ok but look somehow wrong the more realistic the skin/ face becomes. Please don't understand me wrong, alot of them (as well as the skins etc.) are really impressive. But somehow I always think I need to change something a bit. I read the discussion about the eye and shader Bagginsbill made for Antonia (sites.google.com/site/bagginsbill/free-stuff/bbeye). I thougt I can try to get those into V4 in some way. Right now I don't know in detail how to do that, but ordered a book about the internals of poser files so that I will understand that later on. My idea is to use that eye. Baggingsbill uses a texture from SaintFox right now. Maybe SaintFox allows me to use and change that for personal use. But I am not really sure about the eye thing at the moment.
What do thing think about the eyes?

There is another part of my trials. It's the hair. And again I have the problem, the more "good" I get the skin (thanks to VSS and all the tips and tricks in this forum) the less "good" the hair looks (not to mention this incredible slow rendering if transparency and IDL is involved). So what I am doing right now is to learn lightwave with the first goal to make a skull cap from scratch (I know I could do it as group in Poser itself, but then I don't have the motivation to learn modeling ;-) That one I would like to use for dynamic hair (why? because of carodan showed it's possible make dynamic hair look good (www.renderosity.com/mod/gallery/index.php).

Oh boy,
sorry for this long post. But I had two days of from work and was going through the lighwave training videos all the time. I really had to write this down. Yes I know what you all think "go out and enjoy the sun". I'll do it, but first I want to get at least one render out of Poser that I really like :unsure:
