So, after much frustration, I have determined that Poser is not really the ideal animation tool. After purchasing Alias Motionbuilder (which I LOVE), I think I found the ideal tool for animation. My issue is, all the cool characters are for Poser and no other packages (CD4, Maya, etc). In addition, Poser appears pretty "closed", where as all the other packages have plug-ins and pipelines to connect to each other. Are Poser characters compatible with any other character modeling packages??? Any help is appreciated.
