Whoa, you just asked a mouthful. Here's where I would begin. The Manual. It contains all sorts of useful information that will get you up and running in no time. "But Darth," You say, "I don't have the manual because I downloaded Poser from a warez group." Sure you do. I am told that the warez version contains the huge help file, which is really just the manual in acrobat reader format. Furthermore, there is a book at your bookstore called "The Poser 4 Handbook". It's mostly disappointing from what I've read about it, but it is gold for newcommers. We're all happy to help with specific things, but I don't think anyone is prepared to type up a new manual here at the forum. -Darth_Logice
