Thanks everyone for the detailed response. I was wondering if anyone here with Poser 4 or 5 experience has tried DazStudio? Since I'm just starting out learning, I wondered what the difference was between them and which would be best to learn on? Does Poser 5 have that much more in it and better renders? One last item, I was wondering how I can save completly finished renders with Poser 5 in either JPG or PNG format? I'm sure it's something simple I'm overlooking since this is my first trial. randym77 - Right now I'm just testing the waters. I mainly enjoy female sci-fi type themes and wanted to try to do some real detailed female character work once I learn more. Also, I'm hoping to do some women of Star Trek type characters. Any help with add-ons there or such would be appreciated. I found a Princess Lea for Poser and it's very nice by a great artist it would seem. Thanks again!
