Hi aRtBee,

Thanks!

3. I never use the Poser library, it sucks, and whatever you do, can't be re-used in carrara or Daz Studio or so. I use P3dO instead, the basic version is free (www.senosoft.com). It rocks, and yarp provides bout the best support available on earth.

4. make images or shorts that tell a story. Rendo already has too much on images that show how to dress up, to pose and to push the render button. Publish on Rendo and explicitely ask for constructive comments. I know all OOhh and Woww will make you feel good, but will not improve your works.

I have P3do now, will give it a good looking at .. it seems a god send because I will be working the animnations between 3 separte programs .. and I don't think (?) I could save the scenes to work in each without being able to save in Obj. !  Much appreciated.* *

I have not found those "many pages on how to dress, pose and render" .. but now I will increase my looking for them.

I need to find, however, a forum where I can regularly participate, hone my skills, and get constructive criticism!! 

-- I see the gallery item here, which I will use, because it's good site support .. and it is always good to back you software people, (and fun).  But I need the modeling help (really) too, and I am thinking Myrie (?) -- where I purchased Shade 10.  This is an idea, I have not yet done the howdy-dos.

Thanks for your input, see you around, perhaps?

Sally
