"Stills are great and Poser is surely one of the top dogs at it, but for years I've been wishing Poser would catch up and make animation easy as well.  DS is a lot better than Poser in that respect, but I prefer Poser's interface.  Right now, I can imagine that if iClone had Unreal's realtime renderer, that would be totally incredible.  Even better would be Poser with iClone-style animation tools and Unreal's realtime render engine in the Poser viewport."

*Yeah completely agree, and i didnt try to imply that poser is very good for making animations, just that you can do it and get decent results, if you are willing to spend the time needed to learn the tools. And as you i would also love to see some big improvements to this, since making animations is really fun. And since poser is so much aimed at being a product that makes use of finished products, being able to really work with them easily when animating would be a huge bonus.
