I've noticed in almost every case the only people really concerned with HOW I achieve the final product (animations) are usually people who do NOT work professionally in the biz, and even more, are NEVER the clients who pay me for a project. My husband has done professional work in the high-end 3D realm (programmer, not artist), and is still known and active on a couple of highly professional mailing lists for Maya. On those lists people sometimes suggest Poser for certain projects, and nobody gets their knickers in a knot. These are professionals, they know to use the tools that get the job done. It really is the end result that matters. The tools you use to get there are secondary. bonni
