Not to mention a few extra pounds from sitting in front of the computer for "years" on end.  :)

Seriously though, thanks for the praise. But please be careful - I don't need it going to my head,  :)

Quote - I have only been working with Poser 8, GIMP and Magix Movie Edit Pro for about a year. I have some stuff on YouTube, but it's nothing compared to your work. I am just at the stage where I am starting to like my renders. I do mostly rendering to image files and put them together in Virtual Dub. I use Magix for dubbing the soundtrack. I do have a leg up there. One of my other hobbies is home recording...

I went from archviz stills to Scotty Chase with nothing in between. It was very much like a baptism of fire - I took on too much too quickly. Advising anyone today, I would say take on a "real" short and do something only two to five minutes max. And in those 2 - 5 minutes...   shoot for the moon. Trial and error everything you can. Poser is capable, but if I were starting now and wanting to do more intense work, I'd learn Blender. Considering what Blender can do and the fact that it costs only the time to learn it...   I would go that route. Then again, it all depends on what you want to do. I WANT to tell these sorts of stories while NOT having to work for someone else.

Good Luck!
