I'm not trying to trash Poser, I like it, but what I'm getting from my query is exactly what I suspected - in the animation realm, Poser is pretty much the equivalent of the two wax crayons the waitress at Denny's gave us when we were  kids and whatever art you manage to make with it, you leave at the restaurant.  It is a non-essential item in the animator's tool chest with its capabilities apparently peaking at the Poser 5 level. Which, of course, begs the question, why do they put such resources into something so god-awful? How much better (and affordable) could Poser be if they just scrapped the animation altogether?
