Hi, I'm new to Poser 8 and am struggling through the manual, for a first project I want to make a short animation of a guy swinging a sword, could you please recommend any tutorials, url's youtube clips or books to get my feet wet and on solid ground...

Thanks,

Hey, that's looks pretty sexy hobepaintbal, thanks... does this use Poser 8? or is pretty easy to translate...

any tutorial on keyframe animation will help. Its just a matter of starting on frame 1, setting the pose and then moving along and changing the position. If you use 30 frames per second its simple aritmetic to work out how many frames , and you can always squish or stretch it later.

Toss in some extra frames where the action seems rough and soon you will have it done .
