heyas; if you have one base figure, and you want to make variants with... well, variable parts added in... you can try my 'grafting on body parts' tutorial, which shows you how to insert new bits into your old cr2, so you don't have to start totally from scratch. you could probably create the base dreds, and joint those up.... then create the first variant and do the joints only for the added-in bits. then just copy the joints and such from the base to the new one, and/or vice versa. of course, depending on how complex your joints are, it might be faster to just set them all up in poser ;)
