Iv'e been using Poser for nearly 5 years now and i love it, it's especially good because a lot of the time i'm homebound due to disibilities and it keeps my mind busy.
I run a group for complete Poser beginners to teach them what to do from opening the program to making their first render, iv'e been doing that for about 4 years now and loving it. We also have Daz Studio teachers on board now as well, we have our own store and have just started on our first competition with some wonderful prizes from a few of the fabulous vendors here.
If you'd like to join us, the only thing it will cost you is a sense of humour because we have a ball over there, please pm me for the link if you're interested.
Deni.
