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.

 

Basicwiz, have you heard of or tried Sketch-up? I've been using it to build sets and props since Poser 7. It's very easy to use- you litterally draw and drag your object into 3D. There are two versions- the pro version that you buy and a free version.

  I've been doing a series of graphic novels since Poser 7 and I've found that you can get close to beleivable and real through simple practise and Poser's gradual improvement. I don't see the need for alot of the plug-ins that are being pushed right now.
