Being new to Poser and 3d in general I was hoping for suggestions on the best software package (with a price tag around $600 or less) to use in the creation of original Poser4 (with Pro Pack) Figures. I have a much better than most grasp on computer programming and operations and so I was able to make the learning curve on the "How" to do it from the Poser4 manual. What I need help with is choosing the 3d modeling program to use as I am unfamiliar with them. I plan to be making more animals than people. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks!
