Hi,
        I've just gotten poser 8 as a gift, and have no prior knowledge in this area of graphics design. Does anyone have some tips as far as:
What free downloads I should get first? Essentials, as such.
How did you learn most? Just by experimenting? Any essential tutorials?
Will I need any other programs to use in conjunction with poser, as far as eventually creating my own clothing etc.?

Thank you for answering and I hope I'm asking in the correct place.
