Hello again LonRanger...
what these guys suggest about resources available right here is super-true. Almost all of them are really helpful. If you are up to what I think you are you will find that "Propack FX&design really helpful for working with poser animations. Has projects and such and covers a good assortment of topics as well as delving into animation control which (I think) is a big part of what you're after. I am reading it right now (well, not this very minute) and am getting alot out of it. There are also 12 Poser animators here that have always helpful when I have questions. What number belongs to who is still a mystery to me though.
Personally I have not liked any of Shamm Mortiers books, but apparantly others do.
Good luck!
