This is off-topic, but to respond to kupa's comment on a full animation using Poser - I'm working on such a project now in Poser and Bryce, that will hopefully see the light of day in about 8 months. Don't wanna reveal too many details yet, but it will be about 60 minutes or so in length, and is an "intelligent" scifi along the lines of B5, and without the cheesy attempts at bad-ass dialog recycled from "Aliens". Hopefully it will prove that a 3d scifi film can have a good, tight story AND be a commercial success without a $50 million budget. Using hi-res textures and models, I've been getting very good results that don't look at all like Dork or Posette - although render times are crawling on an off-the-shelf pc. ;) I have been working on it since June 2001, and it started with (what I think is) a good story before anything. It's a story and world that's been in my head for about 20 years now that is finally being realized, and has a very extensive, complex universe. The web site will be online in about 2 months. Whether I'll be shopping it for a "deal", so to speak, or releasing it myself remains to be seen. But I will be doing a hell of a lot of promotion on it, and really looking to take it to a huge level. Of course, just having it all finished will be a success to me. But anything extra would be icing on the proverbial cake! :)
