Don't know if this will help or if it's what you are looking for, but, I took an online class for Poser from www.lvsonline.com it covers the extreme basics of the program and it really got me going with Poser and totally hooked me into 3D art.  I'm now taking a class for Bryce and am blown away by this program as well.

The classes are $25 for the first class and $20 when you come back as a returning student.  The teacher is fantastic and is a gallery artist here on Rendo.

They offer 4 different 3D prgram classes:

Poser, Bryce, UVMapper and Terragen

And to answer the silent question...No, I don't work for them :tt2:, but, I'm a very satisfied student.  Check my gallery, it's all because of the 6 week course.  It just might be what you're looking for.
