Well, not even a newbie yet. I'm looking to get started in 3d human modeling, but I'm not so inclined as others with the actual progamming. Poseur is the program I've heard the most about, but which is the generally regarded chamion of 3d rendering for ease of use and affordability? Would like something that has both picture rendering and the ability to make short videos, but I dont want to have to order alot of extra software packs right off the bat. Help appreciated! John
