Plutom, I think if you re-read the various replies, you will see that those addressed to the "sarcastic" meaning of your post were in fact NOT addressed to YOUR post but to fls13's post. In your post, the way you ask your question and the comments you make about what we can make out of a texture... anyone could see you are a newbie. It is not so with the other message though. Sorry about this happening to you since you are new and couldn't know. Don't think bad of this community because of that: there is good and there is bad in all communities. So to reply seriously to YOUR question: it depends mostly on 2 things: 1) whether your fun is to render images or creating things to render images or to help other render images and 2) whether or not you can afford to buy all that stuff. I buy lots of stuff because I like to have lots of choice. What I like most in Poser is to try things on models like I used to do when a kid with paper dolls ;o) AND I like to create textures and little props and faces for characters to give away to those who might use them to create beautiful renders.
