Check out Ron Knights tutorials, great stuff for the begginer. Look at all the tuts and links in the Poser forum Resources at the top of the page. When you have a problem, just ask here. The people here are very helpfull. Welcome to you're new addiction. May it be as rewarding to you as it is for the rest of us. Tashar 59
