That's what YOU say!

All teasing aside, Tony, I've spent over $1500 on modeling softwares that ***I can't begin to understand! ***And before everyone starts berating my intelligence, I'm not a dummy. I have degrees in mass communications and film, electrical engineering, and psychology. I've written books. I'm good enough at Poser that people hire me to illustrate for them.

I'm not an idiot, (contrary to popular opinion) but no tutorial I've run across has made Wings understandable to me. Sculptris... Blender... ZBrush... they all make no sense to me! All I wind up with after spending the money and hours and hours of grief is a shapeless nothing!

For my purposes, I can either buy content or go do something other than Poser. 

I doubt I am alone.

 

Nope, you are not alone.  I have tried some of the Digital Tailor tutorials and that has been the best for me, that and Silo.  However the most I have done so far is to modify items purchased for my own use.  On the whole I purchase content and then modify the materials either within Poser or, for figures, I use Paint Shop Pro and layers.  I have added scars, tattoos and freckles that way and I enjoy it, good as Silo is I don't get the same buzz from that.

I just cannot see me spending the time to build something that could take me a week (plus the year gaining the skills) and yet I could buy of $10.

 

 

I use Poser 13 on Windows 11 - For Scene set up I use a Geekcom A5 -  Ryzen 9 5900HX, with 64 gig ram and 3 TB  storage, mini PC with final rendering done on normal sized desktop using an AMD Ryzen Threadipper 1950X CPU, Corsair Hydro H100i CPU cooler, 3XS EVGA GTX 1080i SC with 11g Ram, 4 X 16gig Corsair DDR4 Ram and a Corsair RM 100 PSU .   The desktop is in a remote location with rendering done via Queue Manager which gives me a clearer desktop and quieter computer room.
