Thanks strider, I may very well be sending you an e-mail sometime.
As for what I want to do with the program, I want to try creating characters I draw with the program, their faces, anatomical build, height, etc, then see how I could manipulate them and possibly do some prints or even a comic.
My friend The Reverend 330 Mega downloaded a trial version of Poser 5, and personally, I thought it sucked donkey balls. The damn thing stretched waaaay off the sides of the screen, with no apparent way to pull it all together, and it was a bit too complicated for my simple mind to understand all together. Photo-shop? Easy breezy, I can kick a little ass. But Poser 5 was too much trouble for what I wanted to do with it.
I'd like a way to build characters up, maybe using polygons or something, and adjust them as I go. I saw a tutorial a long time back where a guy was using polys to assemble some anime girl, which looked like a good path to take. Unfortunately, I assumed it was Poser 5 or some shit, didn't save the link, and now I couldn't find it again if you held a gun to my head.
Any help or recommendations are always appreciated.
