Quote - If I might make a suggestion, have you checked the online Library of Congress photo archives for an actual picture of how a Native American quiver looks? When you find a good, clear picture of an actual NA quiver, I would suggest downloading the pic and fiddling with it till you can map it so you have a correct item. Also, each Nation has different traditional forms for all their gear. Please don't go with the television "Injun" look, we find it insulting. For a generic fantasy quiver, it looks pretty decent so far.
I have looked up a lot of references on plains indian quivers, I own two museum quality replica sets of those and I know how they were worn and used and how it feels to use them and shoot with the bows. Thus, at the present stage of the project, I'm pretty sure that I got everything right as far as authenticity goes and nobody in their right mind would have a reason to feel offended when in 2013 someone makes the first attempt to create an authentic plains indian quiver for Poser. But thanks for the library of congress tip, you can never have enough reference material.
