Rancen: Yes poser and DS are low end. they do not have features like full poly modelling, soft body dynamics, uv mapping, and a whole host of other features. pro 3d software can run $4000+ when you start tossing in various plugins, so yes, Poser IS low end hobbiest software. Lok at it's render speed.. and then try to imagine rendering 100s of thousands of frames to complete a film or animated sequence.

If Poser were middle end, you'd see it used all the time in television and film animation, but IF you see it used in a still ad shot, or bok cover, you're pretty lucky. Lightwave, Carrerra ,or C4D would be more middle end stuf now, with XSI and Max being higher middle end now, buit there are even more powerful 3d applications that surpass them in the pro feild as well.

And the majority of the B&B sequence was done in cgi, with digitally scanned 2d animation seamlessly added. 

And obviously you still haven't visited the Ghost Warrior websites to find out the real story on why he did what he did.  Since you are walking his path now, it would be best to see where it leads, right?

Seems you'd rather hear there's a simple solution to this then the truth though. What you actually want is NOT easily done in poser, and animation of any kind takes a lot of skill patience, and hard work. That's why cgi films and commercials cost so damned much.. nothing is ever easy... one of my favorite expressions.

Way too many people take way too many things way too seriously.
