Richard, If you already have Lightwave, why are you even bothering with Poser? If you want to render your movie inside of Poser, you will have to learn the dials and controls and to do things numerically. But with Lightwave, why aren't you building and rendering natively, since that is a professional application? If you don't like Poser, or its interface, don't use it. Go over to the Lightwave Forum and learn how to do character-rigging or whatever it is that you are using Poser for. And we aren't hung up on the word "professional". YOU used it, in quotes, provocatively, to make the point that Poser somehow is not a worthy application in its own right to those of us who really are professionals. Carolly
