I really want to stick with Poser because I've invested in it and I've produced a small amount of professional work with it. All I would like is for Poser to be taken seriously in the professional world. If Poser could be developed as an animation tool then have your animations exported to high end 3D software packages I think that would be a massive improvement. I think Poser has the potential to be a program for creating/customising figures and animating them in such a way that this process is streamlined; so that character animation can be carried out faster than any available current program. It could then be added to the high end programs for added effects and rendering. Maybe Shade or Vue would become the perfect partner for this new and improved Poser. I also know plugins for Maya are being developed. Poser 6 I think will define the course of the product I just hope it goes in the direction I want. eecir
