Hi all. Reasonable new to Poser have had it a few months, but only now getting the time to get into it just recently. In the past I did a lot of drawing and painting, now would like to very much learn 3d and animation, manly into pin-up, sci-fi & fantasy. So far have done a few pics and have posted them (if anyone would like to look and give me some pointer/feedback that would be great) and am working on an animation 30 sec long so far and just about to give it a revamp with some new toys I picked up today. Look forward to being part of the Poser World. Just have a few questions (Probable really silly, but would help me): 1. Is it me or does everyone find that they see new stuff to buy all the time and want it to d new stuff with? 2. What do most people render setting at? 3. I have the manual that comes with P5, which I find is lacking. Best way to lean is just to look for tut on what I want to learn next and do them? 4. Best way to become and active member to the group, being that I am only new and probable cannot help anyone much? 5. Just for interest is there anyone else from Brisbane, Australia? Thanks for all your help, I sure I will have more questions later. Grant grj_mmj
