Texturing is only an issue if you're after a realistic image. My interests lean towards toon styled renders or fantasy creatures where it's totally subjective how it SHOULD look. I can see where bending could be a potential problem.

I had V3 and V4 but haven't redownloaded them. Everybody uses Vicky. Yeah, she's a great figure with oodles of content but I'd like to see what I can do with some freebies, the base Poser figures and toons. I'm an all-around noob but not afraid to play around with a modelling program if I think I can create the effect I'm looking for. Sixus1 made some great stuff back in the day. I found H.E.R. and all kinds of content for her all available for free on sharecg.com plus a few more goodies.
