For me I was a 2d artist looking for a non human human model to work from, to replace my little wooden manakin.  I found Poser 2 on a magazine cover and thought it would be perfect.  Sadly I was rubbish with it and lost interest for a while, then a while later a new version came out and I had another go and was much better with it.

Then I got hooked trying to get my image as close to what I wanted as possible before using it as a reference for my 2d work.  Then I got hooked into wanting to make clothing and items and all sorts which pretty much took over from the 2d work :)

Thats about it really :)
