I use organica to create body parts then export as 3DS format, import 3DS into rhino to compose or place the parts (very nice program, you can copy, rotate, scale, mirror, strech, bend etc...very fast too, export from rhino as wavefront obj format, import into supermapper for very simple cylindrical UV mapping then re-save as obj format, import into Poser 4, (it comes in as one piece), spawn props, make groups with group tool and add material name to groups, give heirarchy with heir editor, add rotation order and use the create new figure button. Hard part is bending joints, I use spherical fall-off zones to make it easy. I add a simple mottled texture, the default ground texture seems to work fine for me. I'm not an expert at this, but I do like the anime style tentacle monsters and zygote doesn't make them, (if they did, they would be priced out of the ballpark). I wanted to make several creatures and put them on CD for a relatively cheap price. As soon as I post this message, I will post a new one with a new creature, look for it in a few minutes. Thanks for the great comments guys, David
