Hey guys!

Thanks for all of the advice and a few of the tutorial links.  I've been playing around off and on for the past month, and I'm learning some interesting things about how to work with this program.  I wouldn't really call them artistically inclined, but I've at least rendered two images so far, one by playing with poses, the other playing more with morphing what little content I have.

I'm still trying to figure out things like lighting, cameras and so forth, as well as how to put in new downloaded content.  The free stuff I've downloaded so far won't even extract from the compressed files, but then, I'm not sure I'm supposed to do that...
