Do you want to truly Master Animation, or do you just want to remain a Poser? At no point in this thread has anyone insulted Animation Master, or it's users, or said that it is not a good program. So why do you feel the need to belittle Poser users? This is an animation forum, not a software specific forum. Why are we arguing about the merits of the various programs? Why are we not discussing animation tips and tricks? This is the reason that I never post to this forum. Because no-one ever talks about animation, they talk about software. I am an animator, I use whatever program I need to get the job done. I have used Project Messiah, Vue, Poser, Cinema 4D, Lightwave, 3D MAX, Wings, Hexagon, ZBrush, Mimic (for Poser and Lightwave), Poserspeak, Flash, Swish, Comixware, Javascript, Editstudio, After Effects, Particle Illusion, Premiere, etc, and every program has a use, or else it wouldn't exist. My point is that software does not make you an animator. I have even used screen capture from a computer game to which I had applied my own textures to the model to get an effect I wanted. If you are going to discuss animation, I will be in this forum. If you are going to argue like school kids (my dad is stronger than your dad) about what program makes you cooler/richer/more employable/more masculine, etc, then I have no interest in taking part in discussions. So here's my challenge: I have done Stupid Animation Trick No 1. I have No 3 ready. Who is going to stop arguing about software, and teach me something? I challenge you. I dare you. Teach me something!!!!! Something not software specific. Something cool. Something silly. Something original. Something fun. I dare you. (PS My dad is most probably stronger than yours, anyway. Really)
