This is the best site for learning Poser. All the best of the best come here and liberally are willing to help out and share information as time permits. I learned everything I know about Poser right here, on this site. And yeah, the manuel writer left a bit to be desired. There are tutorials on this site, and over on Travellers Morph World 2 site, and alot can be learned merely by downloading a really great file and studying what the artist did in it. For that I recommend you RUN fast to www.thorneworks.com and grab Raven. Hurry now, don't wait, as she is overdue to be removed, and will then be gone forever and ever and ever.... I learned alot from Thorne.
