The little alien was animated by Victor Navone in Hash Animation Master. I heard that Pixar actually searched him out after seeing his "Alien Song" animation. Hello... I'm sure he didn't get the job because he knew Animation Master. :) ________________________________________________________ "Have you ever tried to get a character to pick up an object, carry it somewhere, and then put it down, all in the same shot in Poser? You can't do it". Yes you can... -------------- "How about animating a character swinging a sword with both hands, or a baseball bat"? You can do this too... ---------------------- "Try parenting a poser figure's feet to a ball, so you can make them balance on it". Uh... You can do this too. -------------------------- You can't animate parenting like in Hash or Max (or insert hi end app). But you can do it. There are tricks to getting around this. It isn't a straight ahead point and click approach but it is do-able. ________________________________________________________ Helgard is right BTW: The studios are not looking at what app you animate with (since this is an animation forum). What they care about is good animation. You can learn the application they use. BTW Many of the big studios use proprietary software. You would need to learn it anyway. It may be a differant story when you get into differant aspects of the program such as UV mapping, scripting and writing shaders but I don't know for sure. CHeers, Joe
