To make 3D looking stuff. Saw pictures of them on the net and decided to try to find a program that could do it. Found a lot of them were done with a program called Poser. Went looking for it and found Amazon.com had Poser 5 for $150, so I bought it. Joy of Joy, I later found out after I had bought it, not only could I make 3D looking pictures, I could even animate them.
