Hello duckee. I was almost new to Poser when I got Poser 5 in may, almost because I had Poser 3 for a short time way back then. Like you I felt it was fustrating that I couldn't just open it and do just something so I could see I did something. I started with reading manuals and tutorial, a big mistake, for me at least. I found out, that I have to do/learn one thing at the time and I started with posing. Then I went to conforming clothes and after that to dynamic. Then I found out, that I would like to do textures for the clothes, after that came the figuers. And so on, step by step. I would like to learn everything but I have to realise, something I'm just not to good at, so it's great with all the artist here at ROS. I still havn't learned everything about those thing I've mentioned above, but enough to know what I'm for the time being will spend my time on doing with Poser.
