"League of Extraordinary Monsters," eh? Hmm....lessee...didn't Nitche (i know, it's speld wrong) say something like "monsters we are, lest monsters we become?" This is, actually, an interesting idea. Whom would we nominate for the list? Pol Pot of Cambodia? Those who slaughtered thousands of Native Americans by giving them the clothing and blankets of those who had died from measles and influenza? How do we decide what a serial killer or mass murderer is?

You could also try going to http://www.cherokee.org/. It's the official web presence of the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma. Those of us out here who live in Tahlequah, the physical location of the tribal headquarters, have the same problem with skin tones...Cherokee skin tones can run from almost Yonega (white) to the color of deep red clay mud. There are many photographs on the site that you should be able to download and use a color picker to get a broad-based skin tone.

Ooooohhh....nicey nice!

Thank you!

Ahem Grrrwwwwwhhhhnnnnnnnnrrrroooooooooooooo ; ]

O Rebekah, queen of polygons...may we have a Hellboy pleeeeeeeeezzeee??? (Insert Garou whimpering sounds here)

You have to be a PC member to read the posting...interesting...

"better seen than explained" Oh, absolutely! As a teacher I run into the problem of visual vs. textual learners daily and, as a visual learner myself who borders on being a global reader, I find it easier if I have an example to work from. But I still need that step by step if its an area I know nothing about. Perhaps a half page illustration of the finished image with the instructions (text on left, image on right) would be a usable approach. Personally, I'm excited about this project. I can use all the help I can get. And I agree, with Cyclorama, Microcosm and some of the "kits" some astounding images can be created. I'm waiting to find out about a contract and payment in order to purchase the "starter kit" for Microcosm and all its attendant supplements. Perhaps someone who has a little spare time should create a list of the freebies that are available for Poser for just such a purpose, rather like some of the professors post the reading list for their next two semesters in case you want to get the books early and read ahead. This would allow Poser users who were going to work through those areas a chance to download and putter a while.

Congratulations on the job and the workflow idea. Step by steps are a godsend for us dummies out here. I'd love to see the materials room, the cloth room, all the stuff we complain about here done so that I can set the book down next to my laptop and get cracking on learning how to do stuff. Oh, and Poser 6??? Heck, I haven't figured out 5 yet and I'm not sure about the latest service release...

Wow...thanks seems inadequate.

Let me add my thanks.

I'd love a chance at this as a V2 or M2 character. Excellent work.

I've been trying to figure out the cloth room, and I've worked my way through a couple of tutorials, but it still stumps me. The Poser 5 handbook that ships with the software at least tells you what each thing is, even if it doesn't tell you what to do with them. The closest I've had to a decent result was from using the pop-up instructions for the cloth room. Not terriby "idiot friendly," and THIS idiot could use some friends who can explain things in small words when it comes to this.

Nomuse, you are right...it looks like someone had spare parts left over from a couple of other music projects and thought "aw, what the heck...let's see what THIS sounds like." I'll tinker and see if I can figure out how to add the drone strings and crank. I'm not a modeller, nor do I play one on either television or the internet..I'm just a regular poserholic. ; ]

ANyone know where I can find a free download of a Hurdy Gurdy?
