Just wondering if Poser could ever take on Maya, after all both are for creating character animations. So I was wondering if Poser could ever be a professional tool.
Poser is very frustrating to use if you are trying to customise a default figure. I've managed to create some nice distorted faces using the face room and magnets but when I get round to animating them strange things happen to them so I have to consign a good face to the bin. I've been using Poser for a number of years now and I realise that there are a lot of annoying things about it, but I still like it and I have invested time learning it. I'm very frustrated with Poser because I want to create my own figures (so that it's not identifiable as being a Poser figure) but it seems impossible to do this. I have thought about purchasing Maya a million times but besides it being very expensive I keep thinking Poser should be able to do character animation as it's designed specifically for the purpose. I'm really hoping that Poser 6 will be more professional and I hope that one day I will say that I'm glad that I didn't have to go down the Maya route, which to be honest I can't really afford anyway. I just want a program that I can create my own characters and animate them - is that too much to ask?
