Thanks a lot! Actually, Im going through the 3DS Max tuts right now but I notice that the learning curve is kinda steep which I dont mind, but given my new working schedule time isnt something Ive had a lot of lately (but youre right, it is a large investment to make so Id damn sure gonna get my moneys worth!) So Im looking for a simpler and faster way to make some decent quality movies until I can finish digesting Max. Right now Im only using it for modelling stuff and then exporting models to be used in Poser or Bryce. I just bought C4D like 2 days ago for Body Paint to help speed things up a bit so Im still doing through the tuts and stuff I find on the net now but I like FRFRDN3`s suggested workflow. Will give that a shot once I get used to C4D and Body Studio.

Thanks!
