Pakled, I think you're doing it the hard way. Just use an image you can find in a google search or any number of free tilable textures available on the web.

He may be doing it the hard way, but he's also doing it the LEGAL way. You'll probably get away with swiping textures off the Web if you're only making images for fun. But if you have any hope of going pro - selling your art - do not get in the habit of taking textures off other people's Web sites. Even if they are offered as free tilable textures, be careful. A lot of these sites have swiped the textures from some other site - even off software CDs - and are generously giving away something that is not theirs to give.

Plutom, I think after you've used Poser awhile, you'll understand why people buy stuff. I think you overestimate what can be done with texturing and such, and eventually, you will find it quite limiting. Texturing can turn a dress into a t-shirt or a skirt. It cannot turn a dress into a pair of boots.
