Sometimes it just helps to have a visual:

I know you've been asking a lot of questions about various things around the forums. My suggestion (and it's just that, a suggestion) is that you take some time to familiarize yourself with the programs you'll need to do all the things you seem to want to do.

To do textures, you'll need UVMapper Classic (the free version) at the very least. If you're going to be doing all this commercially, might be a good idea to invest in UVMapper Pro. The things you can do in the free version are limited. As for painting the actual texture, I use Photoshop, but that's because I've had it forever and as a graphic artist I ponied up the bucks to have it. It's expensive (the main reason I'm still on version 7). There are free programs for that purpose. The Gimp comes to mind. Might wanna try that.

As for modeling, there are plenty of modeling programs that are free, such as Anim8tor, Wings3D, Blender and so on. They take an incredibly long time to learn. Don't rush yourself.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that it took each of us a long time to understand all Poser's little ways and oddities. I hope you're prepared to take the time :o).
