I posted a message here over a week ago and had several very helpful replies. I want to thank Kendra, Little_Dragon, Kelderek, hauksdottir, fls13, and Becco_UK for all the great tips and suggestions you gave me. I posted an image in the Poser gallery just a few minutes ago as a tribute to you guys. My first use of V3. At this time that is all that I was able to purchase. Still using Poser vs 4. Don't have the face or body morph packs yet. Don't have any purchased clothes or props. Getting by on the freebies for now. I've been trying to absorb some of the information here in the forum for when I upgrade to Poser 5. Some parts of it sound like it will be wonderful and some parts sound like it will be challenging to adjust to. Anyway... you guys are great, and I really appreciate this forum! -- Jeff in Arkansas

Jeff, When you run the all the posts here, and you see folks whining about topicality or such, remember that this -- what you just had happen to you -- is the reason why all these people come here. To help and be helped. The rest is just poof. Welcome to poser. Your picture looks pretty darn nice :)

thou and I, my friend, can, in the most flunkey world, make, each of us, one non-flunkey, one hero, if we like: that will be two heroes to begin with. (Carlyle)

Yeah, I've noticed there are a lot of whiners and gripers here. When they are complaining about a glitch or bad design in some software or something then that is understandable and workarounds need to be found if possible. But lots of people get their "feelings" hurt for just about anything. I think they'd be happier if they'd learn to just let it slide like water off a duck's back. But, I also understand that they're artists and artists (of any sort) can be tempermental and moody. Live and learn.
