Hi I hope someone here can help.

I need a copy of the manual/user guide (pdf preferably) for poser 3 which I got free from digit magazine (UK).

I've spent a lot of (work) time searching the web for tutorials etc but they just dont cover the basics.

If you can help, I'd like to here from you, also I hope I haven't bent any guidelines in asking on my first visit.

Thanks Greyzone

Got my Poser3 from ComputarArts magazine(UK),so should be the same. The pdf manual is on the disk in the folder named Poser extras. This is a great intro to what Poser is all about. Curious Labs was allowing people to upgrade to Poser4, for I think $129.00 here in the U.S.,as long as you have the seral# that came with the disk. Sorry...no upgrade to Poser5 with that offer.

Cheers Poiu, I checked my zipped copy of the software but no poser extras or manual, so I've rung computer arts to see if I can blag a copy off them via email. Thanks for the info.

If you have no luck with computer arts I have a physical copy of the poser 3 manual. I could mail it to you if you are a UK member.

The greatest part of wisdom is learning to develop  the ineffable genius of extracting the "neither here nor there" out of any situation...."

The manual is in HELP on the top toolbar with Poser4, not sure about vers 3. I have the Computer Arts disc and could email the PDF but not convinced that would be legal??? CA mag says there is an advanced manual download at ....... www.curiouslabs.com/downloads/indexhtml but I'm sure you will find the PDF users manual under HELP ,make sure you have a recent version of Acrobat reader.

Just checked that link, hit downloads at top of page and you will find vers 3 update to 3.01 and the advanced manual. Tommy.

chohole thanks for the offer of the manual I may just take you up on it if all else fails.

tommy I checked out the help section but it wasn't very helpful and didn't contain a link to user guide unfortunatly. I also got the updater and advanced manual from the url you mention, but being completely new to poser I was going to leave that for a while.
As for emailing the manual, you're probably right that it would infringe copyright, its just a shame that Digit mag didn't include it like computer arts did.

Anyhow thanks both for your help so far, I'm sure I'll be back for some more soon.

There is the "Poser 3 Advanced Techniques Guide" available from the Curious Labs web site. I had trouble extracting the zip version with WinZip, and had to DL the sit version and use Stuffit Expander to decompress.
