The Most Important Tip of All!!!

"Try it and see what happens!"

Q: Try what?

A: Anything!

We all get stuck at times, and need someone with more experience to explain to us how to do things, or help us solve a problem. But where did that expert knowledge come from in the first place? About 5% of it came from the Poser manual, the other 95% came from people trying things out to see what would happen. The person with an inquisitive mind, who asks "I wonder what will happen if I do X", and actually takes that next step and does X, to see what the result will be, will learn a lot more that someone who just reads tutorials.

I'm not saying there is anything wrong with reading tutorials, or asking for advice. You should do those things, but you should also just try things. For example, some people have complained about many of the tips being geared towards P9 or PP2012. Well perhaps it seems that way because the person who wrote the tip is using PP2012, and perhaps that person does not know if his tip works in other versions. Have you tried applying the tips in your version of Poser? Or are you just assuming they don't work in your version? Over 90 percent of what has been written in this thread so far applies to P6, and a high percentage even applies to P4.

Take the second post in this thread as an example. It starts off, quote: "Making Your System Easier (PP2012 - Should also work in P9)". It goes on, quote: "Fed up of Andy the Robot appearing and having to delete him all the time?"

If you replace the words "Andy the Robot" with the words "James Casual", the tip applies equally well to P6. If you ignore the three lines that relate to "Max cached renders" the tip applies equally well to P4. Same goes for the majority of the stuff in this thread, there may be some details that don't work in some poser versions, but most of the stuff will work in many previous versions. But if you don't try, you will never know.
