Hi. I'm brand new to renderosity. I didn't even know there was such a thing until a few days ago. Anyway, I just purchased Poser 5. I haven't received it yet. I used to play around with Poser 2. It did not seem very capable, and I've pretty much done figures the hard way (at least I think so) for a long time now ... (I've done mostly 2D work), but if I can judge by the Poser images here on renderosity, I'd guess Poser 4 and 5 are a lot more powerful. Hope so. Anyway, while I'm waiting for delivery, I'm wondering if anyone would care to enlighten me about all the 'kits' and 'figures' and stuff I see all over renderosity for Poser. Back in the day with Poser 2, I never saw such things. What exactly do these things do? Are they actual 3D models? Replacements for the stuff that comes with Poser? Or? And are they necessary to get good results? And, if so, which ones would you recommend? I am primarily interested in fantasy illustration, but want fairly (though somewhat idealized) natural figures. I will also probably being doing an awlful lot of work in PhotoShop and elsewhere as my background is with natural media and I doubt I'll be entirely happy with the very computer-generated look that Poser often seems to impart. Anyway, that's about it. If anyone would care to educate me about Poser and all the 3rd-party stuff available, it will be very, very, very appreciated. Thanks. Bye. Party on.
