Ah! Excellent reminder! That should be something on my list too.

Materials are handy for assigning vertexes to groups, such as constrained or
soft decorated.

I think I understand what you mean Stephen, but could you develop this a bit 
more, please?

LOL

In ready made dynamic clothing props you are likely to find that certain parts
have predefined materials. If for instance you want to make a bow as a "Soft
Decorative Group" you will probably find that it has its own material. It is
easier to select the vertices this way than do it manually. I find that it is
easier to subtract the points that you don't want than to add then as it is only
too easy to pick vertices behind the target. I have been using this method to
pick a Constrained Group round the neck of my dress. (Not MY dress but my
model's dress :-) the collar just happens to be two vertices deep.
One point to note is, if you save your work with the "Hide other objects"
checked then the poser figure becomes invisible at the body parts level. Very
annoying!

Ah! Here is the expert speaking!! :-) Thank you Stephen, I think this is 
going to be very helpful. As said, I have not yet really explored this 
domain of Poser, so it is all new to me, but this kind of advice is 
certainly helping to make progress. Thanks indeed.

Hardly an expert but I've had quite a few problems, some I've managed to solve
and a lot I've not. It might help if I'd read the tutorials properly and start
off simply. Unfortunately for me I want to run before I've learnt to walk :-)
The forums I've found don't give much help for what I want to do (I've been
spoilt by this newsgroup) and my time is limited :-)
If I can be of help please ask.

Regards
	Stephen

After more than 12 years, I just noticed for the first time that there is a dog
in the scene.

LOL

I had to check that, especially as I changed the title of the scene an 
age ago into 'Stalker Tunnel'. In fact, it is not a dog but a cat ;-)

After all this time, I wonder if the original title was not better...
