The running joke (started by Little Dragon long ago, IIRC), is that there seems to be only 12 people in the world who actually use Poser to animate with, as the same names keep popping up whenever anyone asks about animation; hence 'The Poser 12'. No roster, no membership cards, just a comment on how lonely the animators in the Poserverse are sometimes, surrounded as we are by still artists of all kinds.... If anyone ever added them up there would be considerably more than 12 animators who use Poser.....but it sounds cool, don't it? :P
Hi Just for the sake of historical accuracy
it was indeed Me who first coined the phrase "12 animators"
search the archives ,if you dare,
and you will find it was during the now infamous Poser5 pre-release hype
that Steve cooper AKA "KUPA" of the now defunct curious labs
posted a surprise sneak preview of poser 5's new "features"
Some where in that 300+page thread I asked "are there any new features for the dozen or so of us who actually animate figures??"
from then on some began referring to me ,in a good natured joking manner as "Wolf359 founding member of the 12 animators"
it was not some snobbish exclusive clique or anything
more of an inside joke amongst the small minority of us who animated and were active in the forums responding to animation queries at the time.
Cheers
