Just ask, and we'll try to help ?

Thanks, anOmalaus! My first interest in Poser was actually as a drawing aid- not so much for the pose-doll aspect per se (something done very nicely by a number of cheap and easy to use programs lately), but for accurate character models under high contrast lighting schemes- basically to aid in character consistency in comics and illustration series. Given the rather large amount of set up work required to get these results, though, I am trending more toward doing the extra labor involved in rendering out comic panels instead of aids to drawing them- but am finding the rendering controls for this kind of thing rather obtuse. (The comic outline feature, for instance, is pretty awful and draws a lot of garbage where no artist would. I get that this can be selectively turned off for some things, but oh my!). I don't know much about the technical end of rendering, but it would be lovely to have more transparent controls and perhaps some ability to connect user-defined scripts to make some of the effects smarter.
