Hello, I am extremely new to this website and the programs. I do have poser and daz3d but I dont understand how to use either one. If anyone can just help me out a bit to get started on Poser, that would be wonderful. Thank you

You can always ask here too :scared:

You could try this tutorial:

http://www.daz3d.com/support/tutorial/tutorial.php?id=100

A lot of the tutorials out there are aimed at very specific aspects of Poser, which is fine, but this one is a more general introduction.
Which release of Poser are you using?   I addition to the figures included with that release, are you using any of the other figures, e.g. from DAZ, or from Content Paradise?

Morgano. lol....I am hmmm shall we lost and confused! Im using poser 6, tried some tuts still confused. I guess Im not understanding out it really works in general. working with it right now actually.

starr_moongoddess, I've sent you a message (site mail), with a few ideas from casting my mind back to when I started to use Poser.   Feel free to reply to that, but, as I say in the message, any particular problems you can describe here will be answered, usually very quickly.**

Anyone know where I can get a heart object to use for poser? THank you

Thank you mrsparky :)

Thank you so far to everyone who has replied and given some advice its helping me along, still a little confused on some things but I'll work on it more and see where it gets me.

You are looking for a heart? "When a man's an empty kettle, he should be on his mettle, and yet I'm torn apart.... Just because I'm presumin' that I could be kinda human, if I only had a heart." "I'd be tender, I'd be gentle, and awful sentimental regarding love and art. I'd be friends with the sparrows, and the boy that shoots the arrows, if I only had a heart..." (Sorry...just did the show recently and I happen to have the conductor's score right here...) Welcome to Poser and the Marvelous Land of 3d, Starr. It will all start to make sense after a while. But the questions, and the learning, will never stop.

One of the things I struggled with in Poser was the finding the "beginner Tutorials". It seemed like those were beyond my understanding. But honestly, it seems I got through it by 1. reading them anyway 2. play play play in Poser. Somehow it just all started to come together and make sense.

Along with  Dr Geeps Tutorials suggested above, I also found the Tuts Here: http://poseruniverse.com/Tutorials/Poser/Tutorials/Tutorials.html  very helpful and SnowSultans beginer tuts here at Renderosity (in the Tut section) very useful.  I  started out with Poser 6 and no previous 3d experience so it was easy to get lost in the Poser 4-6 info out there.. but these truly helped me.

The folks here are super great at offering advice, answers and suggestions on everything from how to's and resources out there.. Welcome to the Addiction of Poser  :)

Befuzled-

NOMUSE...LOL your hilarious! and befuzled thank you for the advice Im doing just that. Also found a great one for daz3d and Im understanding so much better. Addiction???? OMG yes it is I cant seem to stay off my computer :) what did I get myself into hehe :) Thank you again

As you'll soon find out, Poser isn't just another computer program. It's an addiction! :o)

I have a very beginner's tutorial on my homepage, it's aimed at Poser 5, but there's nothing in it that doesn't comply to Poser 6 too (except the picture of the character you start out with)

http://trekkiegrrrl.dk/tut1.htm

I alsohave a Depth of Field tutorial there, as well as a lot of freebies :) Cya ;o)

yeah..wait 'till you start seeing your credit card bills..;)

Before you get to that, one thing that Poser will 'getcha' on is the idea of things needing other things to work.

Take Vickie 3 (why not, she's free at Daz. Download her, a sword, and a temple, and...;) Inside joke..;)

You'll need clothes (for Vickie 3), hair (for Vickie 3), poses (for Vickie 3), hands, props, morphs, textures, faces..lawsie... where does it all end?..;)

There is a wealth of freestuff in (of course) Free Stuff. Some quick places for an entire wardrobe are Planet Vixens, Daz 3d(of course) , Runtime dna, ISOP, etc.,  Be sure to read and see  if the magic word 'requires' or 'needs' is in the description.. I have CD's full of stuff for Stephanie, the Girl, Boris, etc., which I don't own, and can't use..;)

Plenty of other sites for freestuff out there. Dark Whispers (I think) has a database. If they don't I do..;)

Then start buying stuff. It's like working at the chocolate factory; you can eat all you want, and then you settle down..;)

Hrm. Start with free first, and that should take the edge off the buying frenzy. Even today is possible to fill six gigs with free content with only a little bit of searching around.

Thanks you guys :) Great Im just starting out and already Im a junkie lol....

OK...Im going to give up on Poser just for right now, having too much of a problem with it. So I've decided to continue with daz I seem to have better luck with that one. Now I just cant seem to find many web sites that have freebie stuff for now to get me started, any suggestions anyone? :) Thank you,

try this site and click on "freebies links", that will get you started.

OK...Im coming along ok on the daz, even have a picture going and figured out some prop placing problems whewwwww...If you have a full figured body in your work area how to only show a specific part in your picture????? I swear Im going to get through this if it kills me lol... Thanks all

what are you trying to do? You can go the other way, make a specific part invisible, by double-clicking and unchecking 'visible'. Not sure what to tell you..

Ok Im having the hardest time with unzipping my files. Anything for V3 or anything else for that matter, tells me to put into main directory which I do ( at least I think lol) and I have to search every folder in the tree just to find what I am looking for..grrrrr what am I doing wrong?
