I raised this down below somewhere, appologies for repeating myself, but this forum moves so fast... Is there any site that dabbles in screensavers based on Poser figures? I've done a few basic ones and they are quite a lot of fun. It would be nice to share them and to see other people's work. Berge

I've actually thought the same thing and went so far as to build one that's pretty elaborate.. but it only worked in WIN95 because win98 screen savers work a little differently...

Mine seem to work in WIN95 and 98, but I will never stop being nervous about Windows:) There seem to be a few programs for creating your own animated screensavers on the CNET free downloads page. I'm using Create Screen Savers Quick and Easy, a cheap little ap from Individual software. Very basic, but works well. I found that a series of short clips set around a central theme and played at random creates an interesting effect. Like a ball being thrown to a catcher - sometimes catches it, sometimes misses, hits him on the head, ball explodes, etc. Poser is great for setting up these kind of scenes.

Can you point this poor slob a little closer to whic part of CNET? I'd love to do some and I'm to cheap to spend another dime on software after having to buy Poser twice in one year.

Go to http://home.cnet.com. From there go to Free Downloads and you should find something under Multimedia and Design or under Utilities. I haven't had the time to browse around yet, but as soon as I can, I'll be more specific. Berge
