thanks for all the information, as I said, I have only had Poser 6 for roughly a week now, and I am unfamiliar with any of the previous versions. That being said, when you first open poser your scene starts out with a james casual character which is a mess of clothing, hands and a head. It doesn not have the unneeded legs, arms, chest, this they are covered. Which as it was already stated, does cut down on resources for rendering and file size. Since there is an option to replace a body part with a prop, i assumed this must be how that character was created.
Mainly I was asking the question to see if there was an easier way then exporting pieces to max to assemble a new model there, just to reimport it back into poser 6. does that make sense?
