has someone been watching to much Fairly odd parents (or is it just me?)

when I first started with creating textures for poser I used Adobe photodeluxe (and still do quite a bit) I got it free with my printer, no longer have the printer but kept the disk just for photodeluxe. Very simple to use, although some features are hidden.. I have since found photoshop 6 on a clearance rack and use it a bit, like it better than PSP. (which I had an older version of, haven't used the current version)

Ah, that I get! My video card is the worst of the worst and I need a new one. Having the worst makes things simple really, it's likely that anything that I buy will be a step up.... Still going to wait for recommendations for what works best with DS.

thanks much!

See, totally clueless here

oh one last thing, when you get stuck post your question here, but give us a hint on the subject, you'll get a better response. bad question title: please help me! good question title: need help with transparencies

1. you came to the right place, welcome! 2. most people use a paint program of some sort for texture creation & post work. (I use adobe photodeluxe & photoshop) there are a few other proggie's you'll want, steve cox's uvmapper (free stuff) & morph manager (free stuff) 3. make sure you have the latest service release loaded to fix as many poser5 bugs as you can. 4. start to play, get familar with the menus, espesially applying textures. check out the free stuff here, there's a whole lot of really nice stuff to use. spend time scrolling though the forum, you can learn a lot from other people's questions look for the primer's that geep posted. 5. look up at the top of the screen, right below the ad banner, click tutorials. 6. just so you know, when people refer to posette & dork, they mean the standard poser4 characters. vicky & mike are add on characters that you buy from daz3d.com (most commonly used). since you have poser5 you have don & judy. hope you have plenty of space on your hard drive because this will fill it up given time.

ok, found my computer specs how is this for a card? I know it's old. Intel Direct 3D 2X AGP (shared memory)

how's this for someone who's clueless: how do I find out what kind of video card I have, do I even have one? running win98 btw.

also there are a few copyright free items out, such as the quicksuits that thip put out. if someone made something from the quicksuits it would be exceptable

If you are willing to wait you can start with daz studio, it's much cheaper (free), but is only in the alpha stage. Daz3d.com for more info. Daz studio has it's own forum. If you want to go with poser don't get poser 5, go for poser 4 or Pro pack.

Is it only here at renderosity, or is it at other sites too?

I remember a teddy bear character creation tutorial from thornworks. Is that still around somewhere?

not sure what happened, the first picture is in a zeroed pose. how would I check for offsets?
