Quote -  Hmm, while I can believe it won't be possible I don't agree on the not needed part.  I think facial expression is generally over looked in the great hunt for photo realism and I think that Poser really needs something new in that department.  Even though animated displacement maps are an impossibility, something is needed to pull more muscles in our figures faces.

Actually, animating displacement is possible... at least to some degree...
Almost every parameter in Poser's material room can be animated...
Combine that with "dependent parameters" and you may be able to animate displacement
based on the value of a dial/morph...
