First of all, thanks for reading this post. I need help with a couple of things:

#1) How do I make V3 and actual figure insted of just a texture(?).

#2) When I download free stuff to Poser from a Zip, even when I use the correct folder names, why does it not show up in my figures or props or whatever. Any when the DL is successful, why does it not work??

Geez am I green or what!!?!!

I've made a total beginner's tutorial to Poser 5. It doesn't cover your specific questions, but perhaps it will make some other things clear? You can get it at the link above. I'm not sure what you mean about making V3 a figure instead of a texture? Have you perhaps downloaded some character for V3 that is a texture and some morphs? You need to get the V3 figure from daz3d.com first :o)

Check this thread out. There are a number of links posted, most for Poser 5. There is also an online school that costs $25 USD for a 6 week course. http://www.lvsassociates.com/register/product_info.php?products_id=169

1. V3 is an extra figure, available from Daz.com. She - with the male figure Mike - is usually free of charge. However, many of the characters based on V3, which you find here at Renderosity, require the purchase of a morph-target set. These morph-targets allow the body to be sculpted into new shapes.

2. As to why the downloads aren't showing up - if you've downloaded some textures, they won't be in the library at all. You have to go to the Materials Room and open the files from there. If you write back with a clear example of what's going wrong, we can all help you to get things working.

I just found a highly detailed post I made for someone else. If you go to the above link and scroll to Post #8, some of your questions might be answered.
