As I mentioned before I animate...

After 40 years of punching clocks and walking someone else' chalk, I'm retired now and it affords me the opportunity to finally do whatever whimsical thing  I want to do, without over-site or directorial/dictatorial pressure. Whenever i was tasked to do a  few short 3-10 second animations(150 frames@15fps) I'd be given a 2-3 week time period to get the jobs done, then came the re-do's , the changes the director wanted made, so on average about a month was involved in the process. Then it was off to other team members for polishing, dynamics, materials&render. It was a tough row to hoe, but hey, its a living.

Most of my experience is with Animation Master/ Max or Maya with final renders done with in Iray/Vray... I've used other software but those were the mainstay. Whatever the contractors flavor of the day was. At first I struggled to present content that was up to muster, so many variables, not only with figure animation but there were often interactions between multiple figures and props.... Then in the mid 90's i started 'cheating'...  I discovered that i could recreate the basics of the scene I was working on in Poser, do the basic animation/export .bvh- -finish n other software in less than half the time... I enjoyed many hours with family and friends when otherwise I'd have my nose to the grindstone trying to eek out a living....Unbeknownst to my employers.... Shhhhh don't tell nobody... Poser was/still is looked down upon by the industry as sub-par and I'd have probably been shunned/fired for using it....

Fast/forward to  more recently....

I often sit down at my workstation without the foggiest idea what I'm going to create, assemble a scene on the fly and let the animation 'evolve' from there...Pure 'imaginering' in its simplest form, I just let-er rip without limitation. I create thousands of animated and rendered frames in just a few days(@30fps), animate during the day and render at night while I sleep.  I seldom polish my animations to final product these days before posting(WIP), but for free they're not half bad. I enjoy every  moment of my 'work' and live life to the fullest (devil may care, I don't). I post over at 'Rotica these days (Yeah its porn...ick....sue me) I get favorable reviews for the most part,,, great community over there...

 Poser allows me do that....

Y'all have a great day.
