Well, I posted a long message to the group about my character, but it didn't seem to show up, so I'll try again. SnowS - I have tried to take those jagged edges out, but it always looks too blurry or warped. I hope the problem will correct itself once I import it into Bryce. crossing my fingers Dreamspinner - I can't promise that it'll look anything like him, but I'll give it a try. I didn't know who he was until I searched today, and he's a babe, so it'll be fun. How about a texture and some hair? I'm not good at either of those. Ikyoto - Actually, those eyes are pulled back, but I guess the real eyes are compensating for that adjustment. I'll have to yank 'em back some more and see if that works better. TO everyone else, thanks for the comments and praise. Last night I did it on a whim, and I'm glad I did. It's a big creative boost for me and I needed it. As for posting it to the funstuff section, I would be more than happy to, but I have two problems: I don't really know how to get the morph out of the character and I have no where to host the file. If someone could point me in the direction of a free one, I'd be very happy. As for the texture, since it is not mine, I can't post it. It was done, I think, by someone named Pam -- the same one who did the Newford texture. Most of the glow though, comes from the lighting, I think. Martin Murphy in "The Queen" tutorial suggests taking two lights red and blue and letting them merge over the skin of the character to give an appearance of both warmth and coolness. I don't know why it works, but I know it does because even the default texture can look kinda nice using this technique. Anyway, I am off to work on the woman character for my piece. I'll post the final when I'm done so you can all see what has become of my de-dorkified poser dude. Thanks again, Lynda
