 Next video is uploading now or compiling or...something. Should be up in an hour. 
First, sorry this next video has me sounding so...scared.Its the middle of the night and I was worried the laptop was going to die. It hates when I do video! The only way to get this thing to run faster is to drop it out of a plane!

How is it still running? Oh,, its not. My laptop died and I'm borrowing a friend's laptop. They just happen to have the exact same laptop - small world! And truth be told - look at my render previews! - most of Poser's new features don't work for me. I'm still in Poser 6 mode, visually.

And the fix here was easy. Its always a blender node with a mask. nod nod
