Ok so for starters im still pretty new to poser even though i've messed around with it for quite some time now. Although i have the basics down pact i still need some help with the higher up elements of it. Right now im a college studen freshman who going to major in digital animation so i know i will also gain some knowledge there but its never to early to learn right?

Ok so before i get into my whole life story this is basically what i want to start with and how i want to end up.

My first idea/project i want to create an angel/fallen angel i was trying to figure out exactly what would be the best way to do this later on months down the road i would liek to do some animating with him also but for now i want to create a still image.

Personally i love artwork but i cant draw but thankfully im computer savy so poser is a nice way around that.

So what im hoping for is help on how to create an angel type char ( what model should i use how should i go about making the wings, what other programs should i do for final editing, what should i use for background, and so on. Any and all help is greatly appreciated i expect it to take a long time but im really passionate about it so thanks alot =).

There are plenty of angel-wing props around, and there are
plenty of figures that have an angelic flavor.   Look also for 'fae'
or 'faerie'.

Check the specialized search engine:

Or look in freestuff here at Renderosity and also at
3dcommune.com

These are great, classic posable angel wings that have been around forever :) Use on any figure.

Thanks greatly really appreciate the help. Ok perfect on the wings ive found some great models for wings with all the help. Now for a model i wanted to do a male model its going to be a gloomy type tone im not sure which model would be the best for this project any suggestions? And which program should i start all of this in *i have poser 7 vue dazz and 3ds max(not to familiar with that one) i was told poser by a friend.

If so poser then could someone be so kind to breakdown just the parts i should be doing in poser (poses morphs, ect) or if i should just be doing everything in general in it.

Once again thanks alot for the help =)!!!

Daz figures Victoria 3 and Mike 3 probably have the biggest range of clothing and characters, (V3 and M3) although V4 and M4 are now out.  I would look through Daz3d and renderosity stores and freestuff and see what you need to make your figures.

I don't really want to pour cold water on your enthusiasm. But you might as well be asking us how to draw, for all we can tell you!

Nearly all of us learnt everything we know through lots of try-it-and-see, reading up, following tutorials, more try-it-and-see.... you get the picture? We are all still learning, to some extent. No-one is going to be able to tell you how to "do" Poser renders, it's just too vast a subject. And if someone does try to tell you all you need to know, most of it will be meaningless to you at the moment. Sorry, but there really are no shortcuts.

Dr Geep is a member here who does good, fun tutorials. He runs the Poser University. He is doing a Poser thread right now introducing beginners to the various Poser "Rooms". That might be a good starting point for you. The link to the thread is up above.
