i am nearly in heaven, also.

I've put a lot of time into investigating taking Poser content out to Motion builder, Vue, Carrera, Max, XSI, trueSpace, etc., for power animation tools, lighting and render....it does not look good.

Late last year I gave Carrera a real professional ride...dynamic hair and cloth do not translate, and speed of render -- once you build realism back in to Carrerra -- is not the big deal people make it out to be. During this last week I got a Poser scene to upload into POSE-Ray/POV-Ray, including dynamic hair. The render of the hair was abysmal, time wise, and no one is working in soft shadows in POV-Ray. 

I'd LOVE to stay in Poser for animation and render.  Hey E-F at least give us tangents with handles and some form of "stick in place" for feet and hands better than parenting.

Alternatively, something REALLY GOOD for in-out, like FBX Export out of poser into MotionBuilder (perhaps they could be convinced to resume publication of their 5.0 version or a reduced-set of the current, for, say, $500) and then back into Poser. MotionBuilder would not need to be asked to tackle dynamic hair and cloth, just facial expression and body movement, then back to poser for hair and cloth sim, render (hey can we get VRay in poser?).

Hey dale, i am not one of the 12 professionals yet....but my vids will be coming to the surface over the rest of this year....and you'll have to raise the number to 13.
