Beat me to it, Wolf... ;) The situation is pretty much like Poser itself. The program is doing all sorts of things that it was never designed to do, and no one really thought it could or should do, simply due to the experimentation of others. The manual is handy, but to -learn- about things like animation, you need to check out the tutorials, google your way around and see what kinds of research material you can find that might explain things. Animating is still considered something of a 'black art'...which is why more people don't mess with it. Perhaps with E-frontier being in the dominant seat, we might get that issue addressed, along with some more comprehensive information about the shader system....
