Look for any and all threads started by or featuring BagginsBill. Here and at RuntimeDNA, BB has produced absolutely amazing shaders and render techniques which will make your images better than you could possibly imagine.
He's also a co-developer of Poser 2010 (I think that's the name) so he really knows his stuff. There's rumoured to be a book by the gent in the offing, too. That has to be a must.
Also, a modelling app - there are some excellent free ones such as Wings, Anim8or and Blender - will allow you to make your own Poser content. I use Wings and find it dead easy to get to grips with.
if you're wanting to make your own textures, a good UVMapping app is a must. There are some superb integrated paint/UV apps out there but if you can't run to something like that, a good paint prog plus UVMapper Pro will get you where you want to be.
As stated above, the Marketplace here is stuffed full of things, likewise RuntimeDNA, DAZ and Content Paradise. There are also thousands of free items here and elsewhere, too. In fact, it's a good time to check out DAZ because all their human base figures are now free.
