I assume nothing. I am just pointing out that over time people will get different results out of Poser. Some people are really gifted with postwork, others do fantastic pure poser renders, still others make great models for Poser.. some are lucky enough to be able to do everything. Some people have all the goodies and struggle, some people do fantastic work with Poser 3. It all comes down to the fact that some people learn differently than others. I learn best by example. If I see an effect I like, I try to duplicate it using my own knowledge base. More than anything else, working with 3D requires patience.

The big problem with any art is that it requires much more than just knowing how to accomplish something from a technical standpoint. The most outstanding 2D artist will surely struggle when she first begins with 3D, wondering why something so easy with a paintbrush should be so irritating with say, Bryce. Conversely, someone who knows everything about the technical side of a piece of software might feel lost in terms of composition, color, and lighting. These subjects aren't simple. The challenge is trying to learn it all; BOTH sides of it. So when I say that no tutorial can hold your hand, that is what I mean. Someone might make a lighting tutorial, for example, but it is up to the artist to determine when teh use of that particular technique is called for.

Anyway, longwinded, but hopefully makes sense.
