Hi,
I have seen ads for Poser over the years and have wanted to try it but never really understood it well enough to think that it would be usefull on one of my video projects versus a full blow 3D app like Lightwave or Cinema 4D. I do simple stuff in these apps like logo animations or technical illustrations, not character animation.

I have a client that does workout videos. They want to make a graphic for use in advertising in which a woman morphs from being overweight to being slim while dancing as in an exercise routine. The image can be in silhouette so photorealistic isn't needed. The whole thing would be around 5 seconds.

What I have seen on Poser's website leads me to believe it might be the best route to create this.

Is it possible to take a purchased figure change it to being overweight and then morph it to being slim?

Can you apply purchased motion capture data to the model instead of keyframing a dance routine?

Can both the mocap and the morph happen at the same time?

Can you render out to quicktime with fields to get proper broadcast video?

Thanks for any info.
