Excellent work, particularly for a one man production pipeline! Which version of Poser are you using? If 5 or above, you might want to investigate either Metaform, or Particles at Daz. The downside is added rendertime for the effects; upside is more dramatic eye candy. My only nitpick is the uniformity of the interior lighting; shadows add dramatic impact (for example, pushing our captain-to-be's helmet reflectivity up for the scene as she moves into the control area from the airlock, and having erratic light flashes across the helmet and her face, flashes that prove out to be shorts from destroyed instruments when you see the hull breach. Not bright flashes either; just flickers that partially reveal her features and glint off her eyes and tell the viewer 'what she sees is =bad=). But knowing how finicky Poser's lighting system is, that could also take more time that it is worth (that's why I render in Vue Infinite; more control over the lighting, as well as the network rendering.... ;) ). For one person, that is an admirable amount of keyframing in 1.5 years.... Good luck with part 2!
