The beauty of Poser is that you can use it in so many ways. Some of the more advanced people most likely create their own characters, clothes, props and scenes. They likely pose their characters carefully, by themselves.

Others like myself are less sophisticated, and choose to use the multitude of Poser tools that are available. Let's take Vicky 3 & Mike 3 for example. You can get their "base bodies" for free now from DAZ3D. They come with Pose sets so you can pose them easily. Yes, you'd likely want to buy the morph sets, hair and some clothes. But you have a good start. You can buy scenes or props. You can find lots of stuff in the Free Stuff section here, and elsewhere.

There is an abundance of Poser tutorials. Here at Renderosity, geep rules. I bet he'll pop in here and give you a link to his list. There are also many tutorials at DAZ3D, and on other web sites.

Don't get overwhelmed. Take one thing at a time. Try "assembling" one character, with its skin texture, hair & clothes. Save it to your Character Library, then try using some "canned" Poses. Do a search on the Internet for Schlabber. He has produced hundreds of free pose sets, and now sells new pose sets at DAZ3D, I think.
