One tip I got from the many poser books I've been reading, that's one of the best ones so far is...

To avoid that "blank model" stare look...

Simply individually click on each eye, eg left eye first, then right eye, one at a time,  then use the drop down P7 menu and choose "point at", and then choose whichever camera you normally use... for example I use the pose camera...

that way, no matter what kind of animation or pose you're doing, the model's eyes will always be looking "at you", the camera.. if that's what you want...

That's the single best tip I found in all the books I read, the rest of it I'd already mostly figured out..

Anyone else have any non-obvious tips like that, that work great?

(another one is, I like using light presets, like the ones that came in the great "Voyager Nights" model package, and just click on them one at a time... it makes a huge difference in the way the model looks)..

thx all...
