I'm just starting out in Poser. I'm trying to model scenes in the fantasy genre, but I'm running into some snags. I was wondering if anyone could help: 1) I modeled an awesome sword in Bryce, and after a mind-numbing week of trial-and-error, I finally managed to export it into Poser. How did I do it? I exported it piece by piece -- the handle, hilt, blade, and decorations -- and then put them all back together in Poser by parenting the blade to the hilt and the hilt to the handle. This worked fine, but now I have a problem: how do I refer to them all at once? In other words, let's say I wanted to scale the sword bigger. How do I scale ALL the sword's parts at once? I need to either create one unified object that includes all the parts, or set the other parts to automatically scale when the handle gets scaled. But I don't know how to do either! Any ideas? 2) This one has probably been addressed many times, but I can't find an answer that matches my needs. HOW do I get clothing to properly conform?! I'm using a Michael2 model and a Voluptuous Vicky2 model, and neither of their supposed "conforming clothes" actually conforms right! The body parts always poke through the clothes! I've tried making the offending body parts invisible, but that creates a problem: often, the offending body part sticks out PAST the end of the clothing, so by making, say, the wrist invisible, the bottom of the shirt would fit right, but then my figure would have 3 inches of invisible wrist sticking out of his shirt! And plus, many times my figure has altered geometry or proportions that I don't WANT to change!! 3) How do I make realistic-looking anime eyes? I want to create both the large, rounded, "glittering" eyes used by many anime women, and the sharp, angular, hawk-like eyes used by some anime men. Anyone want to give me some pointers there? Please note: I'm doing this whole thing for FUN. So I don't want to have to fix these problems by spending $200 on a new 3d program or package! Many thanks in advance!
