I'd like to be able to render in both. If I have a simple scene with few objects that are doing basic motions I'd like to be able to do it in Poser. Other than that, I expect to continue using Lightwave.

Lightwave provides curve options that Poser doesn't - like Bezier curves. Lightwave is designed to accomodate a much broader range of animation - Poser is for people.

It really depends on the shot and the story but I'd like to be able to do both.

I guess I'll find out...

Before they made me they broke the mold!
