Quote - Not totally a newbie but been away from Poser for sometime real life and all. But always stayed upto date with Poser versions as they came out so I do have PoserPro 2012 and my question is I bought several Skin merchant resources in hopes of creating my own character for V4 and there was once a tutorial on how to do this since the instructions in merchant packs are scant to say the least and was wondering if anyone had or knew of a tutorial or workflow process that I could fimilarize myself with to start this project. I do have the following tools PS CS5, Hexagon and Blender (which since 2.5 is not as hard to learn anylonger as 2.49 ever was) Silo. My goals is to create a character and model clothing for said character. Any help and info would be greatly appreciated Thanks in advance I have included a screenshot of a dress I am finishing up modeled in Blender 2.65

 

I am sure there are many free tutorials out there to cover this but I am afraid I have not used them.  What I can recommend is the Digital Taylor tutorials by Fugazi1968 available there at Rendo.  The videos use Silo as the modelling program and I find them easy to follow.  Being able to have the video in one window and Silo in another so you can compare the progress and make sure your model looks like the one in the turtorial is very helpful.

Another one would be 'Poser from Beginner to Advanced' by Fugazi1968 and Ironman13.  It is a bit expensive but it covers many aspects of Poser, something I wish was around when I started Poser, and it is for the latest version of Poser which is important as some of the free tutorials are now getting a bit dated (but fine, of course, if you are running an earlier version of Poser.

I have no connection with either vendor other than being a very happier purchaser of a large number of products by both vendors.   I have learnt a great deal from the tutorials and find I learn far more from this method than reading books or manuals.

 

 

I use Poser 13 on Windows 11 - For Scene set up I use a Geekcom A5 -  Ryzen 9 5900HX, with 64 gig ram and 3 TB  storage, mini PC with final rendering done on normal sized desktop using an AMD Ryzen Threadipper 1950X CPU, Corsair Hydro H100i CPU cooler, 3XS EVGA GTX 1080i SC with 11g Ram, 4 X 16gig Corsair DDR4 Ram and a Corsair RM 100 PSU .   The desktop is in a remote location with rendering done via Queue Manager which gives me a clearer desktop and quieter computer room.
