Hi people: in this day I'll have some free extra time   from work and I had have some ideas in mind for tutorials,
I wish I could make both of them in this time,    but as I'm not shure since it's my winter vacations, and my girl
school vacations too, I want to spend fun times in family   , so my question is which tutorial do you prefer to give priority

One is for modeling dynamic clothes in Blender 3D, since Poser 5 was offered for free some time ago everybody should now have
the possibilities of using this fantastic feature for our characters.

The other is about using the material room, general use, some networks examples for mostly organic human shading to enhance the our character look, but not in the technical way, just trying to keep it simple, so nobody will have excuses for plastic looking skins, create a fast nice background and so on.

What do you think people? what do you prefer first? I repeat, sooner or later I'll do both of them but what is the priority for this community?  

____________

definitively the modeling tut - and make it for dummies!! Since I have no idea about modelling (and no, I'm not blonde). But actually I haven't tried it cause there are no absolute beginners tutorials.

Yes I agree with Posfan, modelling would be far more intresting...

____________

Blender sounds good, conforming or otherwise...

D'uh, I can't work Blender, and I'm not blond, either.

Um, Greying, yes, but...

Both are interesting I'm more deep in using the material room than modelling, this is becasue it's easier and I'm lazy   , BTW I added a poll   !

____________

I would prefer the Blender tutorial.
{I really need to get started using Blender, more.}

Yup... modelling in Blender for me as well.  I want to wean myself off of 3D MAX.  There's nothing wrong with it, mind you, and I'm very comfortable with it, but 3D MAX and Poser are about the only two reasons that I haven't migrated fully to Unbuntu Linux and tossed Windows completely...

Am I the only one who thinks they named it Windows because it is a major pane? BA-DUM BOOM!!

Groucho I have window$ and Ubuntu Linux in my PC, Blender Works better and smoother in Linux than in Window$ and Poser 7 works well, I don't have a powerful new PC to tell you about big and massive scenes but the ones that works in W works in Linux, and Daz $tudio works but just 1.8 version.

  I recently lost a lot
when the power supply went -on my computer.

With it went some character models.

I need  to learn Blender or something to make models,
but I know nothing about Blender.
 
Get us all started in modeling  -and see what happens...

Make it a tuitorial for total beginners...

I think this group will produce suprising results.

Blender! I just put it on my machine. I am running OpenSuse 11 Linux and I want to try Poser 6 on it. Is it possible to run Poser 6 on Linux? (I do not dual boot) What about DAZ Studio?

OK Guys already working on the tutorial now, thank you for your interest  

Crimmy, I have a dual boot, Win XP and Ubuntu, I can run Daz Studio but 1.8 version only, and Poser 7, not P5 or P6 didn't try 7 Pro yet, I'd prefer to run P5 since it's the version I use most for testing and creating   there is sometime I don't check for new Wine versions.

____________

ok, but I am new to Linux. I will ask lots of dumb questions so please don't get mad. I have heard of wine, so does that create it's own little space to run Poser or DAZ in a windows environment, or does it use the windows libraries on a dual boot computer?

I am beginning to use gimp, although I am much more familiar with Paintshop Pro 7. Maybe the Linux people at Posetteforever could help teach us noobs? I really like OpenSuSE 11.0 and I am going to stick with Linux. I learned how to run SecondLife with it

You don't need to have Win Installed to use Wine, I don't know OpenSuSE, in Ubuntu one just open Sinaptics software manager, look for wine and this software install it and keep it updated, or use the apt-get command, after installing Wine all Win executables runs after a double click just like in Win, impossible easier, About the gimp is the application I use even in Win, I like it a lot
