There's a link to a free version of Amapi, in the Amapi forum. Another good free modeller is OpenFX...www.openfx.org. Renderosity has lots of tutes on making your own clothing. Oh, another free one...www.anim8or..maybe it is anim8....com. You might want to start off by making morphs for existing Poser stuff. To me, that is the easiest way to begin learning modelling. Poppi
