I am new to poser and to 3d art in general. My biggest stumbling block was learning the terms. Finding answers in the book is near impossible if you don't know the words your looking for, or find the answer but don't understand what it is saying. There is also a degree of intuitiveness that one would expect from a program. The issue with figures replacing each other is a prime example. I imagine most people new to poser (and 3d art) most likely are experienced with computers and many different programs. So they expect to be able to jump in and do at least the basics just by hitting what appears to be the logical buttons or double clicking in the most logical place. Poser has many things which are not logical or intuitive.
