Everything takes time to learn, RKane. I've been at this stuff full time for 2 years now, and I know I still have a LOT to learn, and experiments to attempt. Poser is VERY deceptive.. it all LOOKS very easy, but when you look under the hood, it's a friggin nightmare to make everything work as you want to. I took 2 months this last year alone, to JUST improve my development skills. There are so many utilites to attempt to master, and then of course there are always new tricks to relearn in poser itself. I would serious post in the apollo forums over at RDNA, and ask Anton about Apollo and zbrush. He's very approachable, dispite what many people might say, and he'll really attempt to help you if he can.

Way too many people take way too many things way too seriously.
