Tutorial Index
geep at Renderosity has graciously allowed me to post his tutorials here. Due to site changes, I'm only offering the download versions now. (They're easier to read than the web versions, any way.)
To make things easier, I've grouped the tutorials now:
Basic, Advanced, Magnets, Poser 5 Only, Posing,
Props, and Scaling.
Note: a few of the "NEW" tutorials have
been out a while, I just didn't realize they were there. The tutorials
are new to this site. (Gee, look at how many tutorials he's made before
asking how I could possibly lose track of a few!) ;-) To view the current
list of tutorial threads, in case you have a question on an individual
