I echo your thoughts Nevermore! I myself would never pass for an 'Artist'. I mostly like thinkering. I use Poser a lot for "Pre-Visualisation" when i do commercial projects. Like Questor mentionned, "Boning" in High-End 3D apps is too time consuming to be worth the time & effort. So Yes, "poser-Ready" content comes very handy for those. Is Poser perfect? No, but no app is(Even High-End ones). And i would never state that C4D or MAX are the best. I simply know them well enough to get the most out of them. And that is true of any app. The tools help a lot. But, in the end it depends on how much time you're willing to invest in trying out all the buttons in your apps. Just Have FUN doing it, is all... :-)) Later! Marco
