Sure Betsy. Please any piece of info would be just great for us inquisitive types :-). Also, what other types of hardware and software were used ( ie Mocap, Graphics Card, Processor speed, number of Processors and CPUs, number and type of Rendering Stations, Operation system, Animation and Rendering time, etc. )?. Yeah. I know I may be asking too many question here ( I might as well have been there when it was being made :-)!!!! ), but please, I'm just trying to get an idea of the production work flow in comparison to other packages out there. I just can't stop thinking about what one could achive with Poser, Pro Pack, Mimic and Lightwave within a given time frame and limited budget. Oh please come on, I'm not talking about a Final Fantasy sequel here :-) !!! Just a short, personal 5 - 15 minutes piece with good old character animation, lighting and camera moves. I know a lot of folks would be glad to discover the power they posses today in their desktop computers. I think it's about time Poser is elevated to it's rightful status as a character animation tool and less of a "posing" tool (...though it has it's limitations :-) ) But I believe version 5 would address a lot of those issues. EVERY software has it's limitations but Poser is CHEAP and EASY to animate with. You just get in and go. Everything is set up. There are also avenues for Pros to take more control of their production. I think Poser will storm the industry soon. An epiphany is around the corner. Are we ready? Quite frankly, if there was no Mocap involved in the movie ( like you said ), I take my hat off for those folks :-)
