Hi everyone I'm a noob to Poser 4 (given as a gift) and I was wondering how people get Posette's and Dork's hair to look so... realistic.   Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi ´n wellcome at this board
I´m not very good at hair myself, cos still on P3 , but maybe this tutorial might help.

How did you hear about Posy?

Hi, You can download for free a lot of good hair types from Kozaburo and Studio Maya sites, they are far better than the default you found in the package

Any types of hair can be adapted to Posette   or Dork, even if they are made for other characters, just move and resize them and you will have good results  

Hi there Tormie.  They are good sites !                     .

Hi jimroberton,

Also a lot of the renders have the hair painted on in 'Post' Poser work in some package like photoshop or similar.

I find the hair packages from the links Tormie has given above give some great results in most renders, using transp maps.

Have fun and hope to see you aroung in the gallery soon.
