I am assembling 3D/2D packages for making short animations. I am learning Poser (pro pack) fairly well but am about to move to an environmental package. I have Bryce 5 and have started to learn it, but financially can afford Vue 4. My Question is...since much of my work will be will start with poser, what would the experienced advise me in proceeding with one or the other? DAZ has a $30 off Vue 4 and the Pz3 importer seems to give it an advantage over Bryce. Background...I also am learning Credo's lifeforms 3.9 to enhance animations in poser. I am more interested in assembling (buying) models/textures from others (an tweaking)than making them myself from scratch. I have 2 very robust computers: PC (Dell, P4 1.4ghz) and Mac (G4 dual 800) each with plenty of RAM and Hard drive space, Final Cut Pro/Matrox RTMaC. My son is a composer and we have over 160 potential songs for "music videos", several are storyboarded already. Thus I am into a package that is relative straight forward to learn.
