Let me know if you have any questions or any problems.. and please feel free to expand on these techniques and post your own tutorials based on this one. ;)

Oh my!!! I just read the first page and see from the first image that you've defined what all that jargon meant in regular English! I can tell this is going to help immensely!!! Thank you, Thank you!!! Paul

Very helpful, Thank you. I'm off to try it out now. In the words of someone from Dickens, "More" (no hurry) Bill

Thanks Kiera!

Slowly but surely getting the hang of this.

I can see that, Al ;) Try adding materials to the "background" root node. ;) Lots of fun possibilities there.

Heh... It's only getting better, too. I'm stunned at the speed that you picked the materials editor up, Kiera. I heard that even the best texture artists in the community were paralyzed by its depth, and I'm glad you're taking the time to walk us through this. Paul

Cool, Kiera. And it works even better when you turn Render over: Current background shader on...lol ~Al

Took me 3 renders to work that one out.... ;)

ahahha! me too ;) you are not alone, as they say. ;)

Any tutorials on how to keep it from crashing every 10 minutes? :-(

Sorry, none of those. =/ I just don't have that problem. I managed to crash Poser a second time when I calculated a cloth simulation that had no object to collide against with a huge wind.. but that's it. Poser 5 is pretty stable for me.

Hello, When your my age you sometimes fall asleep in class. What is your opinion? I know it falls pretty short. Also, I wasn't sure how big an image you could post, so I cut it down to 250 x 250. Bill

That looks pretty darn nice, Wayne. ;) Very velvety and soft looking.

Thanks, But believe me, it's the teacher not the pupil. Funny thing, I spent more time in the face room and I can't tell that much has changed. Off to try something else. Bill

Make sure you check apply the face shape ONLY before leaving the face room. Otherwise you end up with a different colored head. ;)

Thank you, Kiera. :) Well done. Phoenix

Hello, I had to show one more before hopefully I am ready for the next tutorial. Funny, I have been visiting this forum for as long as Poser4 has been out and never posted any pics until Poser5 came along. Don't be too harsh on this one, I skipped ahead and added something else. Bill

Thank you, Thank you Thank you Kiera...Sharen
