I know it's frustrating not to be able to do what you can visualise immediately. The computer ought to be telepathic and work out what you want. ;) I've been using Anim8tor, though, and I started by working through the step-by-step tutorials, which were well illustrated and easy to follow if used together with the help text. It didn't show me how to make clothes, but it did show me how to use the modelling software, and it certainly handles Poser .obj files (although it runs slowly on a slow machine, and it's not easy-peasy to use). I'll admit Anim8tor isn't ideal, but it's free, and it's just not going to be possible to start working with a peice of modelling software and do exactly what you want first time without learning how to drive it first. Then, as Joerg says, there just isn't a program that will give you exportable poseable clothing. It's a complicated, time-consuming and often head-bashingly frustrating process. Sorry. :(
