Hello everyone! I've just oredered Poser 5, and after reading several tutorials, and looking through the multitude of plugins and content availible for it, I have to admit Im a little overwhelmed. A little about me: I have an extensive 2D graphics background, and Ive been fooling around with Maya PLE on and off for about a year. Im an avid role-playing gamer and game master, and Im looking at starting up a new Cyberpunk 2020 campaign in about two months. I was going to draw & photoshop all of the portraits for my players & NPC's, but then I discovered Poser and figured it was the perfect solution! I would like to ask a few questions of you more experienced folks: 1- Are there any 'typical newb mistakes' or pitfalls I should be wary of while attempting to learn the software? 2- What add-ons would you recommend given my planned use for the software? 3- Is it possible, or are there any availible distributed computing rendering solutions compatible with Poser? (I have a buddy with a small rendering farm he uses for Maya) 4- Any other advice for a new user?
