ziggie ... you said all the important things that one can say to a newcommer. I just would like to add that when I started out with Poser I looked till I found a SportClub where I could exersize my muscles withought any gudgets, accompanied with very nice explanation. I needed that in order to feel all the parts of the figures in Poser.:). [many years ago when I studied drowing I learned anathomy... but that nothing to compare that nice feeling that you know what you touch virtually.] BonBonish
