Ditto Mason. A good rule is "Start from the end, not the beginning." Think of some image that you really want [or need] to see. Try to make it happen in Poser, even if super-crudely at first. For instance, if your image involves two people sitting at a table, start by using a Box for the table and Balls for the people, to get the scene in place. Then gradually refine the picture, asking questions here at each stage when you get stumped. Keeping the end in mind will focus your questions, and you'll also have a feeling of momentum and purpose that won't happen if you just fiddle aimlessly.
