I would be happy to help you, but rather than take up the bandwidth here in the forum,out can we use something like yahoo messenger? That would let me help you without a lot of back and forth on this site. I am sparky8c@yahoo.com. We can get you started on a very interesting hobby, and yes, you have an excellent starter program. As with everything in this biz, there is always a "better" (read more expensive) program, but you will be able to move on up once you get a handle on Poser. you will find many EXCELLENT tutorials on this site, so look around a bit first. Search for Dr Geep.
