Can i get rid of the defaut figure ? And how do i do it . Thankx;=)

Setup Poser exactly how you'd like it to open to, then edit/ General preferences and set default state.

Awesome thankx Ms Outlaw help was muchly appreciated :-)

Or edit the default.figure file in your Runtime|Figures directory. It can be opened and edited with any text editor and it's very short and well commented. In fact... Here it is in it's entirety: { version { number 3.0 } //-------------------------------------------------------- // These are commented out lines. You can switch these and/or modify // the name to change the default figure //-------------------------------------------------------- // readScript GetStringRes(1032,24) // readScript ":Runtime:libraries:character:People:Casual Man.cr2" // readScript ":Runtime:libraries:character:Poser 4 Lo:Casual Man P4 Lo.cr2" //readScript ":Runtime:libraries:character:Poser 2 Lo:Casual Man P2 Lo.cr2" readScript ":Runtime:libraries:character:Poser 2 Lo:Default Guy.cr2" }

thankx for all the help . i am grateful for it. o o | _/

Just replace him with the character you want, and as Ms Outlaw said, set Preferred State. You don't have to edit any code. I've replaced it with the sitck figure. I tried to replace him with Michael (because I use him most), but it caused Poser to load way too slowly. I replaced it with the stick figure and it loads much faster now. Melanie

Yeah, Melanie is right (and this is coming from an *ix guy who LOVES scripting...) I just ser 'preferred state' to be Woodie; he loads quick, and seeing a figure with no fixed personality to it is a great way to clear your mind when you first fire Poser up. /P
