Hi fellas no one is mentioning anything about animation. I think more emphasis should be laid on poser's unique animation capabilities. There is so much info on the web and elsewhere addressing textures, morphs, clothes, figure setup etc but none that gives animation the attention it deserves. I believe that with the the right models, props and scenery one could produce a marketable movie with poser alone. Most of the resources are available from all of our peers on this wonderful forum except in depth dissection of poser animation. I think that in addition to everything mentioned and suggested by every one else, the book should also suceed in addressing issues like,.."...Goodness how did they do that ?!!!! " that we digest every day on TV and in theatres. A " How To" book might not neccesarily be the solution , but sections of the book should address some basic and advanced how tos. Like special effects, camera effects and direction, composition, screen direction, lighting, scene designing, importing into terrain generation software( ...what some on called "handshaking" :-) !!! ), output to web, film and tape etc. Come on fellas. I know we all got attracted to 3D for one reason. To express our imagination. I know preety well that we all itch to make our own movie some day. Poser CAN do it. You don't need Maya or Houdini to do it. There is an audience out there waiting to see your stuff. All we need is total mastery of our movie studio, POSER. ....My five cents.
