Quote - The program I have is just called "Blender."  Is that different from "Blender 3D"?  Also, using that program, I can't do anything either.  Is there some place I can download a free sample figure to mess around with, or will I need to buy my first one?

 

To have a figure to use with Daz Studio, or with Poser, you go to www.daz3d.com and get a figure... some are free, some are for purchase. I think figure named Aiko is free right now. 
When you get her, you need to install the files in their proper place (read instructions and readme files).
Once it's there, you'll be able to bring the figure into DAZ studio and mess around with her.

If you don't know how to model things in 3D, you prpbably don't need to mess with blender right now, it's a bit more high end application. Does a lot more things, but it's much harder to learn too, especially for a beginner.
