I'm definitely not a pro. But Poser is a great way to explore your creative side. To get start, you'll probably need: Poser 4 or 5 A base model, other than p4 female, etc ( Victoria 1, 2, or 3, Micheal 1, 2) You can find the rest (character model textures, props, and clothes) in Free Stuff section here. That's all ya pretty much need. If you don't know if you may like playing with Poser, you may want to just get Victoria 1. There's still some textures, alot actually, around here in Free Stuff. I hope this helps you. If you ever need more help, please feel free to IM me. You'll notice that the Renderosity folks around here are extremely friendly and helpful.
