Let me start by saying that I am an absolute novice when it comes to any 3D programmes. I have been seriuosly thinking about purchasing Poser 5 as on the surface it appears to have the requirements for a project I would like to do. That is animate childrens stories written by my wife. I have surfed the web, joined groups in the hope of finding out the animation capabilities of Poser 5, but little information seems to be available. there is an inordinant amount of information on how to dress and poes the characters ( some very nice examples). So all you very experienced user please give me some guidence before I spend my hard earned cash. By the time the software reaches me in Australia, with the exchange rate and postage it is not cheap. Looking forward to your replies
