Another problem with finding tuts on Poser Animation is that it seems like there are so few people really doing it in any serious capacity (trust me, I've looked). 99% of Poser animations I've seen are about 10 seconds long, and are something simple like "V3 waving" or a character walking. I don't mean that as a dis to these people, because--to paraphrase Churchill--Poser is the worst character animation application except for all the others (tho I suspect it's not real easy in any program). I've been banging away at it for years with mixed results, but at the end of the day Poser/Daz animated characters is about the only way I can imagine one person at the consumer level--or a small group--being able to produce 3D character animation of any length without it taking a million years. As noted here earlier, the basics of Poser animation are pretty simple, but actually getting decent results is a *lot* of work, so the first tutorial you see better say that this is not easy--it's nudge and test, nudge and test, nudge and test...
