Bikermouse, My first animation was a Poser2 man (in the meditating pose) floating around against a Bryce background. It also included close up footage of my lovely wife eating long strands of spaghetti (just her lips, neck and the noodles) - reversed. It was titled "spew." I need to do a follow up someday... Texture manipulation? That sounds interesting. I'd love to hear about it. I love what Bryce does but it's so darn slow rendering and I just don't find it easy to use to create objects (duh, I know that's not what it was designed for!!!). I especially don't like the way it handles booleans. It sacrifices onscreen clarity (while setting things up) for the ability to go back and change things. I wish I could create one camera (and motion path) and take it back and forth between Bryce, Poser, and Lightwave. I could use each for it's strengths (sometimes the strengths are in ease of use, not rendering).

Before they made me they broke the mold!
