Attached Link: Weinbergs Poser 1/2 Gallery

I saw a Special Features for some movie Hollywood feature flm (about a ghost on a WW2 submarine?) and the direct if I recall had done very comprehensive story boards all with Poser and was so happy about that in terms of his workflow. Is my memory remotely correct?

I really think the problem is that creativity can get bottle necked when you push against the technical limits... pro animations are done with huge render farms... why not use LoRes figures and no textures and see what the app can do? Probably the best use would be to export preview frames and paint over them the way "classical animators" paint over rotoscoping.

The key I think is not to try to chalenge commercial platforms but  to expoit a consumer app for all it is worth. Use the youtube epidode format... subtitle if you have no voice actors... etc. etc. Look at the early Poser art on Larry Weinberg's site... better art with Poser 1 through 4 than most people working with Poser 7. It is because they took the tool at hand for what it was and then forced it as far as it could creatively rather than technically.
