I'm looking for feedback regarding Poser Magnets.

How adept are you at using them?
Do you use them frequently?
Would you use them if only you knew how?

Do these two tutorials help:-

I feel it better to encourage, support and educate the novice rather than dumming down created content to such an extent that user creativity is severely impaired. For example if I wanted to provide a model with various sleeve options I could build some morphs into it. However if I am trying to cover every conceivable shape of sleeve then the number of morph dials quickly becomes unusable. My thinking is that it is far better to show how they can create their own design to their own requirements.

The user puts more of their own creative force into it and as a result gets a greater reward out of it.

What are your thoughts?

Thanks,

PhilC
