I think it took me about 20 - 25 hours. Here's the process: First come up with some story to animate and track down the charcaters and props needed. Play around with the settings in Poser and Flash until the Flash image looks the way you like. For this piece in Poser set Display > Element Style to cartoon (no lines). I also set the window size pretty big, about 500 x 500. Usually its better to render each character and prop seperately and add them together in Flash. Render > anti alias the document, then edit > copy picture. Open Flash and edit > paste. Select the image and Modify > Trace Bit Map. Delete the background. Some times I then hop back into Poser and zoom in on the face from the same camera angle. Then I paste the the close up on top of the body, since the detail on the body is not as important as the face. The whole thing isn't really that hard and it's a lot easier then drawing and scanning to make cartoons. If any one makes something this way I'd really like to check it out so post a link here or e-mail me. Here are URLs of my Flash cartoons. Some of it was not made with Poser. http://www.vidivox.com/showpages/s18zorger.htm http://www.vidivox.com/showpages/s15zorger.htm http://www.vidivox.com/showpages/s14zorger.htm http://www.vidivox.com/showpages/s3.htm http://www.vidivox.com/showpages/s4.htm http://www.vidivox.com/showpages/s5.htm http://www.vidivox.com/showpages/s2.htm http://www.vidivox.com/showpages/s1.htm
