I'm very new to Poser 5 (Poser anything). I've found the easiest way to learn Poser is to read all the comments in this forum (well at least the last couple of months). Look at the Poser and VUE galleries for things that can be done with Poser. Then start with Judy, (I selected Judy instead of Don because if you want to adjust all his stuff, you will need a dictionary-unless you are into physical fitness or a medical student) go into the face room and just begin changing stuff, make the face younger, older, more female, less female, more or less European, African, Oriental, etc. Then click on the Actions' button Apply Shape Only (don't click on the Apply to Figure button-you can do that button later after you get your feet wet). Don't even try animation yet-Just work with the two rooms Pose and Face for a few days to get the kinks out-you will definitely know what I mean by kinks in a few hours. Plutom
