Poser - OFFICIAL F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2024 Nov 12 11:30 pm)
My initial difficulty in using the Setup Room to create conforming items came as a result of not realizing that whatever figure I loaded as a joint-donor had to be zeroed first. And I don't just mean the rotation and scale dials ... the hip and body Trans dials have to be set to zero, also. I spent over a year not making conforming items until I figured this out.

The spline editor. That was the hardest thing for me to get a grip on -- and even now I get all weird about it. For some reason, that whole "line" thing just didn't make sense to me for the longest time. Second hardest thing for me to learn was how to not spend 18 hours a day infront of the computer fiddling with poser or something related to poser. Still learning that one, apparently....
thou and I, my friend, can, in the most flunkey world, make, each of us, one non-flunkey, one hero, if we like: that will be two heroes to begin with. (Carlyle)
I'm still struggling with Poser 3 and 4..;) All I can say is pose first, clothe later. Keep an eye out for props, characters, hairs, freebies, spendies (go by Freestuff and load up, good for experiments..;)..etc., and check the 'requirements' box..Poser makes 'item x for y'..and I've actually gotten far enough to find that Victoria X stuff doesn't work on the basic Poser figures..;)
have fun..

I still remember my amazement when I discovered that poser figures had textures. I had no internet access at the time, so I'd never been to any poser communities. But my first real breakthrough was in 'modelling' - which, at that time, meant using the poser primitives. I figured out how to export/import and began building all sorts of bizarre objects, combining all the standard poser props in peculiar ways. Then I learned how to make them posable.... and became a menace to society! LOL. I still reckon that for anyone who wants to try building poser models, this is a great way to start. With a bit of imagination, you can build anything out of boxes and spheres. mac

My husband gave me Poser 5 recently. Since then, I have discovered this wonderful forum and am having a lot of fun learning how to model clothes for the DAZ characters. Needless to say, there is a lot to learn and I haven't quite gotten the steps down yet. I am keeping a Poser journal as I go in hopes that one day I will be able to post it here. It will contain all the problems I have faced as I learn how to model and the solutions I have found either from this forum or elsewhere. I thought it would be rather fun to find out from the Poser experts out there, what problems they encountered as the learned their "trade" be it modeling clothes, creating characters or making textures. So here is the point of this post, what was the most difficult learning experience you had and what did you discover, as you grew more skillful, that could have made that learning experience a whole lot easier?
