Well, got all the stuff I needed.. Poser, Wings3d, Scaler 3.0, PSP, the free trial of Deep UV and Deep Paint 3d, etc.. etc.. etc.. so now, I've got my model all done up and everything, looks good in Wings. I export as a OBJ, Rescale it for Poser, got the groups all set up and everything, but... 1) Does anyone know how I would make the OBJ into a character file 2) How would I go about creating the materials into different groups 3) How would I go about using custom morphs or, "bones" for the model And now for the texture, which would require some background on this hat. :) The hat is an off-shoot of the one worn by Arucard in the Hellsing Series. My idea is kinda wierd.. I'm wanting to create a cross between Arucard and Seras. Like.. what if.. Arucard finished training Seras to become a master vampire, she becomes at one with her vampire side now. There is a fight between some baddy and Arucard and Seras, where they do defeat the baddy, but Arucard dies. Seras then takes the place of Arucard as the protector of the Hellsing Family. She still wears her skirt / shirt, but also wears a trench coat, hat, and glasses that are similar, but radically different then, Arucard's. The models can be found at this website: http://www.advfilms.co.uk/hellsing/operatives/operatives.php Sorry about the big thread, but I'm a huge newb at all this :) I'll attach a short render of the hat with the materials within the hat different colors so you guys know what the hat will look like. saviornt "May your enemies' blades chip and shatter."
