Well even if you start learning the tools in poser, pretty soon you're gonna run into the severe limitations of firefly's rendering and lighting system. A lot of poser users (including me) have already gone this route and finally had to give up on the drat thing and buy better renderers instead. If someone is a novice then IMO they should just take the shortcut to something like vue or car or whatever and not bother with firefly at all. That will help avoid a lot of headaches and frustration.
