Hail all. I'm a newbie using Poser, so forgive me for asking questions already answered. I'm having some fun making my characters by using the basic package and downloaded props and tools from other sites. But I've hit a snag which points to a more fundamental problem. Just how exactly does one make a brand new prop? For example, I'm trying to make a "Greek God" type character and was looking for sandals with calf straps. Having sorted through several pairs of 6" heels and superhero boots, I'm at a loss. So, how are all these props being made? For that matter, how do you make new clothing types (ie, character models so they'd conform)? I've been having limited success doing it with texture maps (ie, for superheroes), but for non-skin-tight clothes, it won't do. As an example, how would I make a trenchcoat that's open? I have someone's else's trenchcoat, but it's buttoned up. Finally, how tough is it to do customize faces? One problem with my chars is they tend to have the same "face" (albeit different expressions, colors, etc). One of the characters I have in my queue is supposed to be an old crone woman. How tough would that be? Thanks in advance.
