You know, if ever a superhero costume was just _begging _to be converted to Poser, it's the Phantom Lady's outfit. You know, if you still have the file, you should take another stab at it. A lower POV and making the bad guy hold the gun in his left hand -- so he can be facing us but turning around to see who just burst into the room -- would give us a new angle on the action. Or maybe put the camera in the hallway so we can follow her into the room.
BTW: i first "met" this character when she was in the Freedom Fighters in the mid 1970s. My teenaged heart fell in love, and I've enjoyed finding her old adventures (and the various reboots) ever since. Thanks for bringing her to life here.

Oh wow. I missed this. Haven't been here in a while. Sorry it took so long to respond. I'm not sure I still know where those files for this are but you bring up some good points. This was done for a "Secret Santa" over at Heromorph where the other person gives you a list of 3 characters and you have to choose one. So not exactly my choice but one I found appealing none the less. Actually, all 3 thugs pants and jackets (as well as the PI's hanging one) were dynamic clothes I made. As to PL's costume, I had tried making a dynamic outfit for her in Poser but I just couldn't get it to land correctly when clothified. I was disappointed at having to use some Vampirella outfit I found online as a replacement. I've learned some tricks since then that can make the dynamic cloth more poseable so if I ever do her again, I would surely give it another shot. I rather like your pose suggestion too. I try not to have characters facing away from the camera. I seem to recall there was some logistical reason for doing this way at the time but I can't recall what it was. As to the camera POV, placing the camera out in the hall would completely miss the guy behind the door. I was trying to get to get the benefit of that long hallway shot (a different set strung on BTW) as well but I do see the advantages you suggest by doing it the other way. Thank you for such a thoughtful review! All very good points.
