is poser hard to use? i am trying to get it, and i just want to know if it is easy to make the people and everything, or is it very complicated?

Yikes! Open question! First, it depends on what version you get as to level of difficulty. Poser 4 is much easier than Poser 5. Fewer options to deal with, fewer features to learn, fewer problems to find work-arounds for. Poser 5 does everything Poser 4 does and then some. Second, any software will seem complicated the first time you use it. Poser has an interface that is definitly NOT Microsoft standard, so don't expect it to work like Word or Excel. The best way to approach it is with a wide open mind. The first time I opened Poser I cursed the programming gods, after the third or fourth time, a lot of it seemed to make a lot more sense. A set of people come with Poser, some already clothed, some nude, some animals. There are clothing objects that can be put on the nude figures. The whole point of Poser is to take the figures provided (or later better ones can be purchased), and pose them in a scene. There are different methods for posing figures, check the tutorials and use the best one for you (usually a combination). Figures are further detailed with morphs (modifying facial expression, body shape, etc.). The can also use textures to give much more realistic detail. The better the texture, usually the more a figure will look like a "real" thing. Finally, ease of use. I can usually do a pretty nice picture in a full scene in a couple of hours. The really complicated ones people tink with for days to get everything perfect. This is pretty good for a piece of software that costs so little. Poser, both versions, provide a lot of bang for the buck. You can also export the Poser scene and import it into other 3D rendering applications. The most used for this seem to be Vue and Bryce. Both these products do better renders than Poser, but you can't pose figures in them. If you do get it, after the initial play period, go through some of the tutorials for newbies. These help no end. Hope this helps.

pdxjims made some excellent points. Also difficulty will depend on your experience. Have you used 3d programs before?
