***"As long as there is no really working IK-solution in both applications, you can`t really animate with them anyway. I give a shit about motion mixing if i can`t even animate a 380° turn without getting a gimbal lock and flipping ik-chains.***

I will wait for Poser9 however."

Well  you have the option of paying the $3000+ for  a Professional Animation program that has  an Excellent IK solution& motion clips like we have in C4D.
or perhaps you should consider Blender
But I  you would'nt expect any real improvement  in posers aged animation tool set
in poser 9 as SM has shown that animation is NOT among their priorities.
