Bobasaur, That is why I originally bought Poser and Bryce but I've since been discouraged as far as the time requirements of such an undertaking. About a year ago I did a waterfall in Bryce using a wheel and boolean subtraction to achieve the effect, but due to discussions with others I think I've got another idea for it that uses only texture manipulation. I'm sure Agent_Smith and smerc already know how to do this the way I'm thinking of doing it, but I'll see if I can put a "twist" to it the next time the subject comes up. I've also thought of ways to avoid using Mimic for voices, but another member is already doing this in Python Scripting and he about has the speaking end nailed. So I will have to go back to the recognition end of it . . . that's what I get for waiting so long. In short yes. I'd like to learn animation much better than I know it now, and I'd consider myself honored to work with you all if we get the chance to put it together. - TJ
