I feel for you, Xatren.

I learned Poser 4 with the ProPack in 1999/2000 and didn't have a powerful enough computer to handle any newer version until I built a new workstation in 2008. I then got Poser 7 and have been retraining myself with that, then Pro 2010, and now, like you, I am using Poser Pro 2012.

I highly recommend the Infinite Skills DVD video training sets, particularly Steve Pubrick's LEARNING POSER 8/POSER PRO 2010. They have been discounted recently and can probably be had for about $50 today at Amazon. (Better to buy the hard discs, not the download.)

Also, Richard Schrand's book PRACTICAL POSER 8 is a good adjunct to Pubrick's videos -- though, after about a third of the way in, Schrand gets a little sloppy sometimes in describing the steps in his tutorials.

I use and am still using both of those and am very happy with them.

Pubrick's video tutorials are excellent and Schrand's book is very good.
