Hello! I'm just a (german) beginner with Poser. I made all my pictures with the standard models, but I want to use my own made models. Can you explain me how to make my own figures at Poser? Thank you very much!!! Kisses Froeschli

Short answer: You can't. Long answer: You can make figures of a sort with Poser, but it's not suited to making complex, detailed figures up to the standard of anything you would want to use. You need a modelling application, such as Lightwave, 3DS Max, or Maya in order to create your own models.

You can make simple figures in poser. Dr geep ad a tutorial about that. There are some free software you maybe can use for figure creation. Vings3D and Animore. I have fetched the free version of Cinema 4D from a magazine, in a superb app and can be used for advance modelling. For the pay aps, Rhino is a good alternative I have tested it and I like it. Butt modelling a human face is hard, I have give it up. I model simple characters as insektoids and robots and of coarse lots of props

If you have poser 5 or propack then... You CAN convert your figures to work in poser, the link has a tutorial about how to do it. The manual tells you how to use the setup room also.

And PhilC sells a basic female model especially designed for this... you can take that lowpoly mesh into any program which handles .objs... and add polys, refine verts, shmush edges, and do whatever you need to do to get the figure you want. Then you take it back into Poser's Setup Room to bone it. Rather than starting with a cylinder, you are starting with a figure that has fingers and toes. ;) Carolly
