If WorldBuilder can import Poser animation, that's great. Like I said, it has a really steep learning curve, but if it can do that and it's what you want, then I'd get that. If you are interested in static scenes, then get Vue d'Esprit 4. It can import Poser scenes directly from Poser's native .pz3 format. No other program that I know of can do this. Bryce can't do either animation or static import of Poser objects except if you export all the models from Poser out as .3ds, .obj or something like that, then apply all the textures, bumps, etc. Maybe version 6 :). But, like I said, Vue 4 is quite buggy at the moment and the creators are working on getting that cleared up. Couldn't tell you when that will happen tho. Out of all 3, Vue d'Esprit is the cheapest and you can get great results with it. If you count Terragen, then it's the cheapest because it's free ;). But you can't render inside the program, you can only render an image from it and use that image as a backdrop in Poser. But it makes the most realistic landscapes that I've ever seen, even better than the others except that you can't use plants. It's a tough choice when you don't know anything about any of them, isn't it? Laurie
