on X-men2 2 companies did pre-visual stuff. Image Engine - they do a lot of 3d and previsual stuff for TV show Stargate SG-1. They helped with animatics on X-men2 and they did not use poser. also a company called Frantic Films. they write software that does previs as well as scene tracking. it's C++ based and works with 3d studio max files as well as other files. The Art of X2 by newmarket press has a examples of the 3d wolverine previs for the Danger Room that was in the script and storyboards but was nixed from the film and shooting. X2 had no poser work, sorry. The One with Jet Li has a fight sequence that was pre-vis'd with poser to work out how the fight should be staged. Sorry to say but poser is to slow in rendering and no opengl so even rough things take too much time to use in professional movies. may change, but mostly for previsualasation in the film industry they use custom software and AVID flame and 3d programs. sorry to burst ya bubble. I got the X2 dvd and thought it was poser too until I did some looking around and talked with a buddie in the industry.
