Most of what I've seen in the industry is it takes a whole lot of programs to achieve the effects that forms the finished product. A lot of the formats are interchangable so pieces can be imported and exported to take advantage of the features in each. In a lot of my work lately, I've been taking elements from Poser, Bryce, Illustrator, Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro, Xara3d, Flash, Cool Edit, Quark Express, After Effects and Final Cut Pro. Poser will proboably be in use for a while for the content and features it does better than some other programs but not all by itself. So it's better to learn to use the features of each to put them together to the best advantage.
