The Pro Pack is well worth the money. What most people do not know is you get 7 new characters. I have seen characters like this sell for $100 to $150 a piece. You also get several additional models from Viepoint on the CD. This is not to mention the many feautures of the prog itself. The setup room allows you to apply bones the way most hi end apps do that cost 10 times as much. And yes it can do the things you asked above. It also has an excellent manual. There are so many other feautures its a steal at $149. It does have some minor gliches the way all new apps do. However Curious Labs is on top of them and I am sure a patch is forth coming. You can work around these minor problems. I do not work for Curious Labs. Ron
