As you work on a scene save progressive pz3 backups, eg "MyScene-01.pz3", "MyScene-02.pz3", etc. There is nothing worse than loosing hours of work because Poser has crashed, or pz3 has become corrupted. 2. Use the Memorize and Restore options, Memorize > Element (Alt+Ctrl+E), Memorize > Figure (Alt+Ctrl+F), etc, to set restor points. Then if you make a chainge and decide you don't like the result, you can easily revert to the previous state. 3. Learn and use the Poser keyboard shortcuts, it will save you a lot of time. 4. Once you start to feel comfortable using Poser, learn to edit Poser library files (pz2, cr2, lt2, etc) in a text editor, it takes time, but eventually will allow you much greater control and understanding of Poser. When you ask "how can I do that?", you will offten be able to find the solution your self. 5. Don't be afraid to ask questions, even if you think they may sound silly. There are lots of people in the forums willing to help. We all proffit by the shared knowledge in the forums, and an answer to your question may help me, or give me a new idea. Do try to make your questions specific, and include as much detail as posible. Do take the time to acknowledge when an answer has been helpeful, or to report when a sugestion did not work. Others besides you can proffit by your feedback, and it can be very discouraging for someone to spend time answering a question, then not know if the person ever came back to the thread to read the answer. Always state your Poser version, the answer to a question may differ depending on the version. 6. Once you have the Poser interface setup the way you want save a UI Memory Dot, this will let you quickly restore the user interface if you make an unintentional change. For similar reasions make a backup of these files: Poser.RSR preferredState.pz3 Poser.ini Restoring these files will offten fix problems if Poser stops working corectly, and can save you the trouble of a full reinstallation of Poser (these are P4/5 files, not sure if they exist in P6).
