Hi Artworker Is this a decent summation of your intentions? Little alien guy animated in Poser, running from left to right with a pause in the middle to look around panic-stricken...export that animation as a set of images, then use Photoshop batch processing to cut out the background of these images and save them as .pngs with transparency. Import them into Flash, synchronise sound effects and add whatever background and foreground that youve created in Photoshop. The only major complications I can envisage would be if your Poser model had inadequate morph targets to simulate a realistic run and look of panic, and ultimately the download time for the banner (a Flash preloader might distract vistor attention for a short time, but in all likliehood your looking at least at a 50k .swf). If I
ve got a grasp of your idea then Id be happy to give it a go, although it
d help clarify things if you could post up a sketch or two of your storyboard, and also, you might be surprised how easy it is to animate figures, certainly in Poser 5, and may wish to undertake this yourself afterall. Cheers Duncan
