Poser can do that, but it's not going to be easy and a lot of work. You would need to animate frame by frame to get it done. Houdini? Overkill. What you're looking for is something like Muvizu It's pretty easy to use and gets you great results. I once did a full animated story with it about10 minutes. Took me a while to create,but only because my computer at that time was slow in rendering and didn't have enough RAM. It was really fun to do though and Muvizu made it a lot easier then doing it in Poser or Vue.

In theory you can import Poser items into Muvizu. I've did some static ones, but never animated Poser stuff in Muvizu or imported animated stuff. Static items weren't a problem for me.

Artwork and 3DToons items, create the perfect place for you toon and other figures!
