I agree with prixat completely,you will find most software in this field will benefit greatly from having learned some artistic principles,Think of poser as putting you in the directors/photographers position,you set up the lights and composition pose etc and off you go.

Have to say that poser is a bit annoying for me but as you can see from this site,loads of people use it :-) so it cant be all that bad.

If you have a definite look you want achieve it can be realised,the only thing that really limits you is if you start wanting multiple figures,but it can be done in postwork if your system cant handle it.

the best bit of advice i can give is to resist the temptation to jump in,take your time and read the manual carefully,as i found it easy to start scratching my head when things didnt go right,but then i didnt know about this site with lots of helpful people to put me straight :-)

Enjoy! and be sure to put your progress up on here :-)
