Thanks shadownet. One of my problems is that I know nothing about animation or the Poser interface for it so I don't know if I am duplicating something that can already be done in Poser far more easily than the methods maclean and I have been posting. Perhaps it is time to go learn how to use the keyframe controls in Poser. Another thought just struck me, if one can get camera angles and light sets to save into Pz2 files it may be a way of creating a new library type for scene files. i.e. a pose file that brings in a preset pose, camera angle and light set replacing the need to open Pz3 files in every case (or go through different libraries) thus creating preset scenes for posing. I haver often wished there was a library category for Pz3 files. If this works it would be a half-way stage. Pz2.5 files? he he. STORM
