Hi

here's a section of my current WIP and I'd like a little advice on how to
proceed with it. I'm pretty sure the background is how I want it, but I'd
like to something more with the body and head texture. How would I join the
head to the body such that the face smoothly curved in the body? The head is
of course a Poser mesh and the body is a sphere_sweep. For the body texture
I'd though about some emitting media or something but I've never had much
luck with that sort of thing.... :(

anyway comments etc?

thanks
jim

I think the easiest way to get the face smoothly curved in to the body is to
import the head in to a modeller and model the body and export the whole lot
to POV. If it was me I'd choose wings3d.

I like the background texture btw.

yeah, that's what I thought - I've just never had much luck with modellers
either :( but thanks for the heads-up on wings3d - I'll take a look.
