Also, there's loads of free figures to use in Poser, don't feel obligated to use the default characters because you haven't bought Vickie or Michael yet. Do a search for Mayadoll, Sara, or Kaekedo for a start. Sixus1Media also has a handful of great characters in their free offerings, go to poserforums.com to see some of them. They're very good quality and load into Poser with little effort. You might want to mess with Posette (default Poser female woman) for a bit until you get the hang of the application first before adding new characters though.
