I do most of my own posing, but I see most problems if people try to move the body itself instead of using dials. You can (depending on the speed of your machine and your ram) have the textures show immediately and if you turn on your depth-tracking the model won't show up as a box when you move it. I leave those on. LoboUK is right, once you get a library of your own to start with it gets easier, if it looks great save it! That's my motto. lol Have fun, and as bad as the manual is, there is some good info in it. Also download the Poser 3 Advanced manual, it's in .pdf but I bit the bullet and printed mine out. Marque
