Thanks, Wizardkiss! I was actually very pleased with the expressions in Poser--it was one of the first things I checked when I was test-rendering for Aurora, since in a story like this, you really need to convey the emotions. Oddly, it's really one of the easier things to do in Poser (unlike walking, which is a pain even with the walk designer--it's really hard to keep the feet from "skating".) I'd like to work in just Cinema 4D, but I don't think there really is a robust import solution that would allow you to easily import and use Poser/Daz figures using the C4D animation controls--I may be wrong, but it seems like there are limitations on what is out there such that it might be just as easy to stick with Poser, at least for now. If you know of one, please let me know! Silent Hill was quite cool--great editing and effects, and very creepy! I'd like to know more how they went about producing it. MoxieGraphix, I couldn't find "Harry's Heroines" is there a link to it somewhere? I hope others do give Poser movies a try--I think there's great potential, and I'm not sure it would really take 120 people--at the rate I'm working, if there were 4 of me I'd be done with Aurora by now, but even as one lone guy, I'm having fun, and I'm pleased with the results. Plus, with Poser 7 there may be new efficiencies, not to mention that there may be cheap motion capture on the horizon--there's a guy who built a system for under $2000, and it works with Poser (but he's not selling it yet), and Naturalpoint/Optitrack is supposedly working on their own system, so I think the power of even one person on their own is just going to grow. We'll see! --Tim
