"Well, here's my version of the Stool scene, using V3 in Poser 6 and Photoshop for post-production. Creation time-- about an hour." Looks good. What was postworked exactly? "Do you have a gallery somehwere of fully rendered completed works? I'd love to see them." I would too. You should post some to the Animation Outlet here. If you need server space, I might be able to help you with some free space on mine. BTW... "but I want to tell stories as animated film "director" so my priorities are a little different. :-)" What's that mean? What makes your priorities different from most animators? I've been working on a CG short for a while now... I'm about a month into it. Yes, I'm telling a story, and yes, my priorities are on conveying that story, but also on getting the best possible visuals I can. What's different? :-)
