Hi Nolos,
thanks for the advice again, you speak sense :). what i'm trying to do is more a "live animated " storyboard of a film . The reason I mentioned poser characters is that some of  the people  on here have really good characters which create the feel and look I'd like to add for impact. Hence my main reasons for this whole dilema. I am also slowly learning the Iclones package. Just the poser images look really nice. Hear from you when you get a chance, thanks,
best wishes
H
