OK, I have just starting playing with poser4 and I have rds5.5 and painter3d, I have maybe read too my options or just have my versions mixed up. I just need a general direction, I want to do two things, Create a new figure out of two seperate ones...lets say a horese and human ( the body from one and the head of another) I just read the book poser3 handbook and understand the way he does it but somethings he talks about in the book dont seem to match in poser4, There has to be a better way ? Also, poseable armor, could someone just give me an overall view... I want to make a transpartent chain mesh...do the shaders I create in rds (with transparnt parts) show up in poser4...(exported in obj)..Please just set me off the right direction... I think i am reading items from workarounds of version 3.....Someone just set me straight....Please Fleanbilly spike@loveable.com
