How does the idea of a first volume of ASL (including the manual alphabet) sound (or should that be feel?)? 26 letters and 62 signs. All animated poses. Like you, I have 'standardized' on Dork, but the signs should be useable with other figures if you don't mind some keyframe tweaking. It can be done ... and alone. It just requires preparation, a stringent workflow, and a set of design principles (like, all signs start and end in a standard neutral pose and only animate the arms and hands). Two weeks for the first 88. In order to avoid 'tweaking' keyframes for other figures, I asked about ways to avoid this in the Poser Technical forum, but the response was nothing if cryptic. Something about 'correcting controllers' and such. Nothing in my books, here, or on the web about it.

C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot. C++ makes it harder, but when you do, you blow your whole leg off.
