Is Poser 8 good for beginners?
1309668
Any 3D software package has a high learning curve including Poser 8. This means that you are going to have to spend a lot of time with the software, going over the tutorials and manual as well as any books available on the subject. There is really no good beginner package that I know of for learning 3D. You may want to consider getting Poser Debut which is basically a stripped down, more user friendly version of Poser 8, but it is really not that much if any easier then Poser 8.

This is the full version. You don't need any prior version of Poser. For me it was cheaper than going the upgrade route. You can always point it to your old Poser runtime (Poser 5 in my case) to use your existing content.

I believe it will be fine for a beginner just as long as you take it slow. You might not be able to do the whole 20 minutes the first time. It will get easier the more often you do them. When I first started I would just pause the dvd and rest when I got too tired. The exercises themselves are not too difficult but they will certainly get your heart rate up and give you an excellent workout.

The D300 was my first SLR Camera. Before that I was using point and shoots. I would say it is appropriate for a beginner who is learning actively. When I bought this cam I had started taking courses and I evolved rapidly to a serious hobbyist. I would say you shouldn't buy it if you're not planning to learn how to be a better photographer, otherwise, the Canon 40D which is also a medium sized SLR would be much more suited. It has many kinds of automatic modes that you would select. The D300 has only four modes: Manual, Shutter Priority, Aperture Priority and Program mode.Personally I'm glad I ended up choosing the Nikon D300, it's such an amazing camera...I hope this was helpful The D300 was my first SLR Camera.

I think the Starter Edition was more simplified. It had just what required. The Deluxe has more categories than I needed. It will work on 8 I am sure. It should tell you requirements.

Yeah,it's really easy to use. Before buying it, look at YouTube video for a 2nd opinion. I've been using photoshop for the last two and half years, so yes you can, but there is not a layout for a flyer. You have to do it form scrap and do it by layers. Over all it's easier to use then photoshop CS5. The video editor is easy to use but recommend watching YouTube videos before hand. It will help I recommend having a I7(2.4ghz), and 8gb of ram for the best performance. This program will use a lot of the CPU. So if your rendering don't anything else or the program will crash.

Pinnacle has their own site that you might find answers to all your questions. There on the forums you will quickly find out whether it's a good to have or not. I understand their live support sucks... How's the software? I have studio 9 and need to upgrade NOW!!! Had a few problems in the past but it was sorted eventually? Do I want to go through it again?

Yes! This kit is very good for beginners. I'm a beginner as well and it worked great!

I am a beginner and I am loving this machine. It comes with many "foots". Once you get the hang of it, Its like YES! I am a pro. Not really but its fun to dream. You will have no problem getting the hang of it. Do a simple project first then the sky is the limit.

1 would be good, but it depends on what you plan on having in it. If sps than 2 with controller would be better. Softies, zoas, mushrooms, etc... 1 would be fine

I do not think this is too much camera for a beginner. There are excellent tutorials available to teach you how to use the camera. It is a wonderful model and I highly recommend it. I also looked at the 5200; however, I wanted a titanium body instead of plastic. The 5200 is very light and is a great camera. I wanted a higher quality of body and decided to go with the 7100. I have not been disappointed at all. Go ahead and spend the extra. You will not regret it. You are buying the best and it will provide a lifetime of memories through pictures.

I think it would be fine for a typical 8 year old, as long as some presets are made with the lenses. Some of the controls are quite delicate, so training would be required.

it sure is. you will not be disappointed. you really need to do alot of shooting to make it worth while. casual shooters should use the 1.8 and call it good unless ;your rich

There really I no difference from beginner to "professional". I've used oujia boards a few times in the past year I wouldn't say I saw any major differences other than te material the board and eye are made of.

It loads and works fine on 5.0. Very good program for a newbie like me and should be good for those more experience. If you have a problem you can have 8.1 run it like and older version of window. Enjoy

Yes, the starter brew (scoobie) is enough to make your first batch. is enough to start your first batch.

Yes. Per the System Requirements (Macintosh) section of the official reference manual for the program, Poser 8 requires Mac OS X 10.4 or 10.5 to run, with a G4-type processor. 700MHz is essential, a 1GHz+ G4 chip (OR an Intel Core Duo) is recommended. A late-model PPC processor should be fine. I had gone over to an Intel Mac before I upgraded to Poser 8 and so have not used it on a PPC, however I do still have the official Smith Micro documentation files. This information comes from those.
