"There is a FANTASTIC frodo in the poser gallery ...done..with...VICKI!! I mean dead on!!" Well, it's a very good image! But he stated that he painted some parts of the face he didn't like. So it wouldn't look that good in animation. Key point... the mesh is limited by it's vertices. There's only so far you can push and pull them before they "break". That's why using the same mesh as everyone else reduces the the chances of producing a totally unique character. I don't think people fully understand that perspective. Also, I know Poser can and is being used by professionals. However, what I said was it would NEVER be used by professional FX studios because of it's many instabilities and limitations in animation. It would take 10x longer to animate a film in Poser than in Character Studio for 3ds as an example, and the rigging system is less than desirable. I'm not poking for an argument here, but I think people who love the program often overlook some key points as to why it's not accepted everywhere.
