sorta OT: Poser questions 2005-03-29 - By Andi Newton

Andrew,
Which Poser group are you subscribed to? There's an old one that gets little
to no activity, then there are Poser101 and PoserNew at Yahoo. Both get a
lot of activity, and have folks who are really good at Poser who are always
happy to answer questions. I really recommend subscribing to those two
groups; the folks there have been invaluable to me. (Much as the folks here
have been invaluable to me learning Carrara, and even 3D graphics in
general.)
I haven't really messed much with morphs, but I can answer a couple of your
other questions. You can create props in any modelling program. I create
mine in Amapi. (I do all my rendering in Carrara, but I've made some objects
in Amapi for folks to use in Poser.) As long as you can export it to be an
OBJ file, you're good to go. Which program is used is really just a matter
of the creator's preference.
There are two types of clothing: dynamic and conforming. Conforming is
designed to automatically conform to the figure. With dynamic clothing, you
use the Poser Cloth room to "clothify" it and drape it around the figure. I
personally prefer dynamic. If you subscribe to the two Poser groups that I
mentioned in the first paragraph, go to the Files section of the Yahoo group
and you'll find a folder called AMN Poser Beginner Tutorials. Those are
tutorials that I wrote that cover some of the absolute basics of Poser, and
include one on dynamic and conforming clothing. Not how to create them, just
how to use them.
As for making clothes, I haven't tackled that beast yet, but this page is
supposed to have some good tutorials:

Hope to see you in the Poser groups!
Andi
