You can make simple figures in poser. Dr geep ad a tutorial about that. There are some free software you maybe can use for figure creation. Vings3D and Animore. I have fetched the free version of Cinema 4D from a magazine, in a superb app and can be used for advance modelling. For the pay aps, Rhino is a good alternative I have tested it and I like it. Butt modelling a human face is hard, I have give it up. I model simple characters as insektoids and robots and of coarse lots of props
