Hello, I am fairly new to Poser 6, I bought it last summer just after it was released, and messed with it then stopped, now I am ready to totally delve into it, along with Bryce 5.5 and soon Shade. I have been spending many hours looking at the Gallery, and downloading some characters, and buying them, some clothes, etc. My questions stem from I guess some confusion, newbieness (is that a word?), and curiosity. My main question is, I made my first hair (out in the gallery under poser, portraits (author vulcanccit) for a figure I got somewhere named Kitty. No matter how much hair density I used, I still see scalp as you view the render. How is the best way to avoid this? Next question, figures... for female figures, what do most people use? Vicky seems popular, but what about Jessi? I do not see much talk about Jessi. Do most of you take a default character and modify from there? What do you find works best? One character better than others? Why Vicky over Jessi, etc. I know these questions would depend on what you want to draw, but I guess just in general, what do you see as a trend. Clothes.. Do most of you download/buy them? or do you make them? I have tried to learn the creation process, but it seems daunting...I do have a Shade 7 book on the way as I think I might need this for mesh work? Lastly....order of your modelling. pose first, face next, makeup, then hair? something like that? does it matter? It just seems overwhelming with all the stuff that can happen in the poser world (and bryce) that I find I spend hours just on one thing like a pose, then hours on hair, and after tons of hours, I still feel I do not know what the heck I should do! I have been reading and looking at tutorials and practicing but if you look at the gallery under Vulcanccit, im not sure I am doing good yet. Thank you all for your time.
