You must be very rich! I'd suggest you have a look at the Taschen book that's coming out, 'Digital Beauties'. There's lots of terrific stuf in it but, the best thing is the chance to compare like for like Poser output and all the other apps. Just having a 15,000 quid app won't make you use it any better although I suppose you could always employ a decent animator. I suppose what I'm saying is if you can't get the close to Final Fantasy in Poser, you certainly won't in Maya. I don't mean to be a downer, buy a Ferrari instead!
