Val,

Dunno what Version of Poser you are using, but you probably have lion and cat figures under Figures/Animals

Load one of them up, and start mucking about with the dimensions - also select the head and create a magnet, see what sort of effects you can come up with.

I really like Val's battlecruiser - it looks very lethal.

I hope all of you finish these sets - they all look quite good.

Ya, even the cat snapshot. I have some pictures of my cats taken with a flash that makes them look like energy beings... er, ok, just kidding here.

Val,

I really like that ship. I'd probably have to give the edge to Mark so far on the racepic though, so far. (Maybe I should have had seperete contests. )

Try making the person a little more alien looking. It doesn't have to be a cat head on a human body.

If you like I could send Val the Poser file for the race pic... it will show what outrageous shortcuts and botches I use to make my pics though! Or, just use my race pic if you end up preferring it to others.

I don't mind not winning $10,000 (I know you are only offering $10, but I still won't win $10,000 will I?)

Actually, I prefer Marks race pic too, having a heck of a time with Poser, can't seem to find the animal figures, just people. (Scratch that, just found them - helps to read the instructions once in a while) Still playing around though, for fun

Mark : I would love to see the Poser file you used though, just to see how the heck you did that. Most of what I did was take a human face and shape it more feline than human. Then I'd import it into Paint Pro and add the fur, paterns and such not.

Regardless of win/lose, I'll most likely finish off the shipset, just for the practice alone.

Thanks for the compliments.

Mark: Thanks! I've been trying to learn how to use the magnets, but largely unsuccessful.
