Well when I first got Poser, it was definately different then my usual software. But like I said once a while back, I am the type to read manuals first to get an understanding of software.....now I know what you are going to say, cause it has been said before that the manual is useless, but I do not agree, I at first read it and said, what ?, but then read it again and understood how it was suppose to work right down to the parenting of children. It just takes time to really get it, and what I didn't understand, I asked questions until I did understand. Thank you lovely people. Yes,it was a challenge and I love a challenge, but I also was quiet ignorant regarding Poser, I just had to learn some things, so if I were you, try again, I am sure you will pleasantly surprised. Sharen PS: and you will not regret it.
