I was thinking that Shade would interface with Poser, but apparently 
whatever interface it has doesn't work in the demo.  Or if it does, I 
couldn't find it.  Anyway, I really couldn't see anything that made it 
better.

I guess this kind of brings up a sore point with me.  There is all of this 
Poser stuff out there, created in very expensive modelling programs.  I 
really wish Daz or Curious Labs could come up with something that would 
easily allow the user to create clothing, do modelling, paint uv-textures, 
etc.  It seems like they already have half of the problem solved (posing), 
and many other people have the other half solved (modelling, uv-texturing). 
If you could "paint" on the 3D Poser models (rather than map a 2D texture), 
that would really rule (like Body Paint, I guess).  But then I suppose it 
wouldn't be relatively cheap, either.

Since I'm still just a Wings beginner, I recently used your "women's shoe" 
tutorial for creating something similar (not a woman's shoe), as part of my 
POVComp entry.  Very nice tutorial.  Very helpful.  :-)
