I just explored Poser and it is the best. Only drawback is it rendering which sometime crashes my computer (Well there are solutions), otherwise it is perfect for my need. There are tons of tutorials on Poser cloth, Hair and face room but setup room is not much explored as it is an advancd feature. Manual and e-frontier tutorials are no doubt good but again they are bit diificult to understand. Do you people know any tutorials for setup room which can be usefull especially on Joint editors.

You're extremely kind in that statement. LOL IMHO you need to be a rocket scientist and trained researcher to understand the manual that comes with poser. When I got Poser 5 I actually read the whole manual...just call me "Ms. Geek". When I was finished I felt that if I knew anything about programming I could build my own poser program, but I still had no clue how to actually "work" the program. I bought the 3 Axis video course and it helped a little, but some of the stuff was done off screen and I was lost as to how they arrived at some windows and tools and settings etc. I found that my best source of education has been here, RDNA and Daz on the forums. There are so many people with loads of poser knowledge and they are willing to share it to help those trying to learn. I've picked up so much information and have learned so much from them.

I can heartily recommend the book "Secrets of figure creation with Poser 5" by B.L. Render, ISBN 0-240-51929-9. Everything I know about rigging Poser figures I learned from this book. Setting up bones, tweaking joint parameters, making "body handles", ERC, EasyPose, it's all in there, plus more.
