I was wondering if you used Poser 3 or Poser 4? Poser 4 has more capabilities for approximating reality-- like transparency for the hair and textures. Also, many of us use the Millenium figures from Daz. www.daz3d.com They look very real--depending on your tastes. And I think they still have their free or relatively cheap low res versions of Vicki available. Which is a good way to start-- if you have Poser 4. I use no other renderer than Poser-- too lazy to learn another prog. And I'm relatively satisfied. Someday I might learn Vue d'Esprit. Emily
