I was going to make Dawn a handbag...

Went on a tear tonight and made some stuff that every girl needs in her purse. Keys, compact, lipstick and hand sanitizer. I'm REALLY proud of that sanitizer. Even made bubbles suspended in the gel.:geek:

Those looks great. And I can see why you are proud of the hand sanitizer. Not only is the pump on top great, but those bubbles really look good.

My problem with weightmapping in poser is all the tutorials I've seen so far assume you know how to do the basic stuff which I don't. Also I don't have a clue how to group...I'm going to check Traci's tutorial out and see if that helps me.

I'm learning a lot of this myself, but grouping is the one thing I do know. However it makes a difference if you are trying to group a whole figure (like Diva) or just clothing. Clothing is pretty easy in the fitting room.

I know women carry some other things but hear me out on this...
1) I'm not sure how much of this stuff will even really fit into the purse
2) Putting things in the purse makes it seem more realistic, but really most of it will be out of sight and won't even be rendered.
3) the only practical purpose for it is to show it either being seen put in or taken out of the purse.
4. I don't want to make some items. I feel a little weird about making sanitary napkins and tampons, even for a virtual girl like Dawn. Of course I would make them if I was doing an ad or something. I'll have to think on that.
5) Is it really necessary? I have at least 3 or 4 mobile phone props in my runtime, and I know Daz has some props on sale from other vendors.

What do you guys and gals think?

I wouldn't worry about making any more props. Like you said, if they are just in the purse they won't be seen, but it's nice to have a few that can be used outside of the purse. I think you have a good selection of stuff already.

I agree with GG, I don't think it needs any more props. What you have done looks great and sufficient.

I'll third what the others have said...plenty of props as is. In a bag like that you wouldn't fit much.

So true Fairy...I have a number of products that include makeup...the only thing I think I don't have is the Sanitary products Earl mentioned but I'm not sure if I want or would use those...

Yeah, that's getting a bit personal, if you know what I mean.

A pack of tissues is one thing. I always have a pack of tissues with me. With my allergies, it's an absolute necessity.

Well, not having a girlfriend or wife, and not wanting to come off weird to my family and friends, I have to do my research online. Know what i mean?:(
