Hi all, Have you ever, like me, gone to read a Poser tutorial and felt like you couldn't be bothered wading through the detail ? That's where quick tips and tricks come in handy - you can keep "playing" while you are learning more about Poser. With this in mind, I want to start the ball rolling to compile a long list of tips and tricks to help us all get more fun and efficient use of our favorite app(s). So here is my initial contribution. 1. For DAZ figures, apply a small negative value (e.g. -0.1) to the HdAlien dial for the head to get an interesting new character. 2. If you have created a magnet to morph one side of the face or body, and you want a symmetric morph on the other side : duplicate the magnet, copy the first magnets dial values to it, and then change the sign of the x-tran, y-rotate and z-rotate dials. 3. In Photoshop, to paint hair behind the head : export the image from Poser as PSD, in Photoshop separate out the alpha channel, and then paint the hair on the background. 4. To give your DAZ characters a long pointy nose, set the "Nose Flat" dial to a negative value (works well to about -1.2). Then mix and match with other "nose" morphs. I will add more as I think about them. Please add your contribution if you can think of some quick and snappy tricks for Poser. regards, Andrew
