#1. how far does the animation limits stretch? #2. has anyone ever made and Final Fantasy 7 characters? #3. How would I do the crow like face paint? #4. can you get poser any cheaper than the 249 from meta? just wondering If I paid too much!!! #5. is everything poseable and if not how much is?

You can make 999 frame clips in Poser, but it's always best to make small clips and edit them together as you would for any film. Haven't seen any FF7 poser figures around. You would paint the crow face make-up on the texture map. You probably could have gotten p4 for slightly less, but not much. All is possible if you put your mind and effort into it.

actually, I have created up to 1,230 frames of animation at once in P4 but nearly killed my puter doing it. Jack

I'm just quoting the manual Jack ;-) -JH.

I've never pushed an animation beyond about 800 frames, bearing in mind the 999 frame limit in the manual. However, it's good to know you can push it beyond that if you need to - even if it does choke your PC :) Paul
