Ok, I've got to add my 2cents in on this one. When I first got Poser 4, about a year and a half ago, I was utterly confused... I got an old copy from my school who was "downgrading" some of their computers because of a few students making "porn" from the program. So instead of it being on the entire room, it was only on 4 computers, blablabla. I got no manuals, no books, nothing...just the program. Needless to say, I was in left field on my own with a few tips from teachers and the internet. I played with it for a few weeks and go so frusterated that I uninstalled it and tossed the cd in a case far away from me. I found it about 6 months later and said "what the hell" and reinstalled it. I played for about 3 hours and things started snapping into place. I've been doing it ever since and have even started teaching my brother and his wife the ways of Poser. I'm trying to convince the head of our graphic design department that getting Poser 5 would be a great asset to our program. (Hell, I even offered to tutor the class pro-bono because I like working with Poser that much LOL) They're "considering" the idea...who knows if it'll get implimented. I'm also eagerly awaiting the releast of P5, however, I'll have to wait a few months to save the pennies to be able to actually buy it. (Hrmm, I heard CL has a nice student discount though ;) ) devongrrl, my best advice, look around, play with it, ask lots of questions here and try not to throw your computer at the wall. It will eventually pay off. (Until you start trying to figure out how to import Poser figures into Bryce and just want to scream) LOL Good luck with the adventure. I'm sure you'll get it. Just hang on for dear life. :) -Kymm
Remember...getting lost is the senic route to the eventual destination. (And a lot prettier than the straight road)
