I'm brand spanking new to Poser, or trying to do art in anyway what so ever. I've decided to give this a shot as I have been unable to find an artist (or artists?) to work with me on the web comic I want to do based on the sci-fi script I've written. Ok, I'm still writing it. :) Ok, on to the reason for my post... I was hoping that someone might be able to point me in the direction of a good read for newbie's. I really do have a bad time with stick figures, so... is there a Poser For Dummies? Or anyone that's willing to answer silly questions as they arise? heh thanks in advance, Allen

No question is silly when you need help and this is the best place to ask them. Lots of great folks to help out along the way. And the link above is to the Poser Q & A Archive, excellent place for newbies to start.

many, many thanks! and wow! that was fast! I'm really nervous about this. it's a bit of an investment to make in something you have serious doubts about being able to do. I will go forth and try and learn something. again, many thanks!

You are most welcome! I started with Poser six years ago and felt just as you do but I also knew it was something I so wanted to learn how to use so I stuck with it. It's been a blessing in my life, as well as forums like this and others, where so many wonderful people come together doing something they love, sharing their knowledge, tips and tricks, and wonderful freebies. And there will be times when it all seems overwhelming so be sure to ask for help whenever you need it. Most of all, have fun!

There is no other program today like poser. Lots of imitators coming out, but none of them are still Poser -- part of it's power is that it really is the easiest to use thing... welcome to hell. Now grin and let's party...

well the reason I'm getting into this, as I said, was that I have been unable to find an artist or artists that could commit to doing the art work for the web comic that I have decided to give a shot at based on the sci-fi screen play that I'm working on. to be perfectly honest, I'd rather focus on my writing. I really am one of those guys that has a helluva time with stick figures! A friend of mine, years ago, who's a great sketch/comic artist, tried to teach me. 30 minutes later, trying to do a simple line profile, we both laughed when he took my pencil, broke it in two and threw it away! it was really pretty funny. But I really want to be able to look at the character's I'm writing, so... I guess I have to give this a shot. hmmm... why are all my finger nails gone already?

As many people have said already the best thing about this site is the incredible amount of help and advice that people are willing to give to you for free. I remember when I first stumbled upon renderosity and saw the quality of the work in the galleries and thought to myself 'I wonder how you do THAT?' LOL! But never be afraid to ask a question, no matter how silly it sounds! We've all asked them, me probably more than most LOL! Out of interest what's the commic about? Are you able to give a brief synopsis? Good luck and happy rendering!
