Wait... There's a manual?
The first time I opened up the manual was when I needed to know something about the lighting system. The next time was when I needed to know something about the material room.
And, neither situation was resolved by anything I learned from the manual.... :)
The best thing to do is to grab a cup of coffee and start watching tutorial vids. They're all over the place. I think PhilC's vids on "Rigging" on youtube were some of the first that I watched regarding Poser. I wanted to learn how rigging was done and, so, there ya go - I learned how rigging was done. The same goes for all the other "Rooms", too. I either watched vids or I read tutorials from third-party creators, rather than scrabbling around in Poser's "Manual."
The other day, I wanted to learn something more about Specular nodes in Poser. So, rather than sit here or on RDNA, waiting for BaginsBill to pop up, ;), I took a look at Poser's manual on the subject. Very nice.... Copied and Pasted entries for each Specular node... Gee, thanks. No screenshot? I know the differences, now, after doin' some figurin', but the manual wasn't much help. (That isn't to say it isn't any help in other situations, though! It surely is. But, it's not always my first "go to source" for information regarding certain subjects in Poser.)
PS - I've never read the manual. I've looked up things, but I've never just sat down and "read" the darn thing. That's OK, I don't use maps, either, and I haven't asked for directions to anywhere while traveling, Life's an adventure - One may as well insert a few opportunities for adventure to occur, right? :)
