Quote - Great explanation, Tguyus. Sounds like it will help me. By the way, I'd love to see your superheroine animation if you want to share it -- my current project is a superhero feature with about 20 different characters (I know, too many). If so, post a link in your next message, and if you can't do that, I'll give you my .Mac address and you can drop it to me. If that's a hassle, thanks anyway; I'm grateful for the advice. SS

Well thanks for the kind words, and you are very welcome.  If you get the program, I hope it works for you.  My only other going-in advice is to read the instructions carefully.  There were some good explanations and techniques I missed with my first pass, and as I said it can be a powerful but tricky utility. 

As for my superheroine animation, I'd love to share it but I don't think I dare.  I literally spent months rendering all the frames in firefly until I had an animated sequence of about 2 minutes, but I used a certain copyrighted symbol on the chest of the superheroine's uniform.  When I made it, I wasn't thinking about posting it; then when I decided it was pretty good and others might like to see it, I realized I had given myself a major copyright infringement problem.  Since then, I created my own custom uniform for this character, but I haven't re-done the animation.  But if I do, or if I at least re-do one or two of the poser physics-related bits, I'll definitely give you a look!

cheers...
