I've been an animator for 15 years, and I repeat Finally, the manual should teach you how to use Poser, not how to animate. If a person doesn't know what kinematics is, or the difference between kinematics and animation (my article on this was published in an industry tradezine at least 10 years ago), or what inverse kinematics is, Poser will NOT teach him. If he doesn't know the basic rules of anticipation, action, follow-through, exaggeration, etc., Poser will NOT teach him. If he doesn't even know the vocabulary, much less the methodology, he better go find a book or course on animation... not Poser. Poser is simply a tool. It is a complex, wonderful, powerful tool. But it is just a tool. Telling a guy what end of a hammer to hold won't enable him to build a house. Telling this person how to use the graph editor will not make him an animator. Carolly
