Hi everyone! I'm a relative newcomer to Poser 4 (I tried Poser 1 ages ago and decided to wait, but I think I waited too long :-) )... I've caught onto this great product quickly. It is, indeed, the most powerful human figure creation tool ever created. But I'm having a couple of problems and I need some general tips from those of you who are more experienced. First, I'm having a dickens of a time with hair. The stock out-of-the-box Poser 4 hair looks plastic. I think I've downloaded every hair morph and texture I could find (many from this site or the links on the right). Most of them do NOT work right -- either they do not conform correctly, they are hard to morph, or the texture/trans map doesn't look good. I've even given up on freeware hair and gone looking for something I could buy with no luck! I'm working on a series of roleplaying fantasy pieces (thank the gods for Nerd Stuff chainmail!) and my heroine will NOT have short hair -- I'd prefer she had long flowing locks in the tradition of Vampirella, Barbarella and so forth. Any thoughts on the best morphable and texturable hair you've found that actually works well? Any tips on using hair? (While we're on the subject, I also need to find some costume jewelry type props for fantasy genre -- bracers, crowns, chokers and so forth, any ideas?) Second question has to do with BBay. I was so excited to find their site and see all the great Poser stuff for sale, but NOTHING works! Everytime I find an item to buy, it tells me the "store bbay.com does not exist"! Any inside story on what the problem is and whether they'll be fixing it anytime soon? Thanks in advance for you replies. I have to add that what I've seen so far of the online Poser community has impressed me very much. You guys are great. Marc
