bwtr: I've used boning in Carrara since v3 and it's okay, but there's no 'real' way to save poses other than creating it once in the animation and using copy&paste keyframes to replicate it. The URL is a link to a quicktime movie that I did some time ago using Carrara and bones. For me the value in poser is being able to rig a character and then save poses that can be re-used. I've made more progress in one week with poser and carrara than in a month or so with only Carrara. Also Poser has dynamic cloth and hair, which is a big plus. Shonner: I'm still trying to get a handle on Amapi. In my experience, Amapi's interface gets in the way of me actually doing anything. I'm not giving up on it, but again with the upcoming release of Hex, learning Amapi may be a moot point. Hopefully I'll be able to get the Xtract CD-rom soon and I'll check out the article you mentioned, bwtr.
