You said you use Poser... What version are you using?
I render 80% of the time in Carrara 8 Pro.
The other 20% is split between Lightwave and Max.

Additionally, there are some good and helpful people around here so if you get stuck on something, feel free to post a question or comment. Odds are pretty high that somebody around here will be able to help you out. If not, then at least point you in the direction of a tutorial.
