Hi,
I have just started using Poser 5. I checked the documentation and read some tutorials @renderosity. The images I managed to render a far from the great artwork I find here. Is there any recommended reading (must-read tutorials, websites but I'm also interested in buying a book).
What do you recommend?

No book currently on the market is going to make you a Poser Pro...The only book besides the manual I have read that was worth the paper it was printed on was "Secrets of Figure Creation with Poser 5" by BLRender. My advice, read every tutorial you can find. There are tons of them if you look hard enough. Search this forum and you will find a lot of posts of great links. Also, check out all of Dr. Geep's tutorials. Up above, where the forum banner is, just underneath, you will see a link for Poser Backroom. Click that, it will take you to an area with some links. Check out the tuts section, and look at the Geep ones.

Poser seem to be a HANDS ON program and the manual your reading is for technical info not artistic advice. The best way (my opinion) is to tinker with it until you come to an impass and have some good questions... then come here with those questions! I've been playing with this program for 4-5 months and have not even touched the surface! Patience...patience...patience!

Thanks for the advice :-) I tinker a lot with it and finally I managed to get it to render with satisfying results. Not yet very artistic (basic clothed character against a black backdrop) but the quality of the render comes close to what I was looking for. I will check out the Geep tutorials as I found them mentioned a lot while searching the forum - I just hadn't found the tutorials themselves.

At the beginning of the year, Geep posted links to (most of) his tutorials in this thread. http://www.renderosity.com/messages.ez?ForumID=12356&Form.ShowMessage=2063281
