mark, poser originated as the easiest known character posing software, then became the easiest known character animation software.  thus it is already "3d software for dummies", which is not a derogatory comment rather than an encomium.  poser's author(s) long recognised that, despite its simplicity, its reference manual might be ignored by most users, hence their recommendation to refer to this forum for questions of usage.  if any particular subject is not explained well here or at rdna, ask for clarification in the pertinent thread.
