Not to make waves, because Sam is about a zillion times better and more experienced than I in the Poser realm - but I do find the face camera VERY useful. In fact, when working on face construction I use it exclusively - that way you can use your main camera to capture the overall scene and always have the face camera to do face shaping and emotions. On the advice of others here, I set the focal of the face camera to 80 most of the time, again to avoid the fish eye effect. Another thing to contemplate would be your lighting - there are many good free lighting sets available, especially for portrait work. Other people have beaten me over the head with it enough times for me to know lighting is one of the most important elements of your renders - so you may as well get in the habit of working lights as soon as possible. As in all things - start with the most simple thing possible and have patience, it does take some time to get satisfactory results. I'd say do a few practice poses and renders with the stock V3 and nothing else just to get the hang of it, get familiar with posing, lighting and cameras because those things you'll have to deal with for every figure, prop and render you ever do in Poser. Then move on to your morphing, textures, hair, etc... Unzipped
