Hi. I've had Poser 3 sitting on my computer for a year now and I feel its time to get started. So, after a long day of messing around with it, I've come up with more than a dozen distorted poses. If anyone has any help I would appreciate it more than you can believe. I looked at the tutorials here and a few other sites and to me they are very advanced. I'd love if someone could give me a couple links for a beginner. I'm feeling frustrated and overwhelmed. Poser Forum you are my only hope. Kelly

There are some good basic tutorials at Fallen City, and you can search the forums here for the work of geep, who gives great tutorials. If you're lucky, the doctor himself will pop up with some links - I can never remember them. Since you're using Poser 3 in a world dominated by Poser 4 and Poser 5, you might try my tutorial on the subject. Your poses are probably being affected by IK (Inverse Kinematics) which Poser applies by default to new figures; this tends to stick their feet to the floor. Go to the figure menu, and uncheck all instances of inverse kinematics that apply to your figure. Welcome to the mad house. It still isn't too late to take up stamp collecting. ;)

If you find that you like poser 3 I would advise you getting poser 4 as soon as you can as it is much better than 3.

xantor: If I can get the hang of this stuff, I will definately consider Poser 4. But since my Poser 3 was free I can't really complain! EnglishBob: I will check out the links you posted and you are right that stupid inverse kinematics thing was checked. That'll help a little! Thanks for the help!!
