I am so disappointed in the Poser animations I make because the render is soooooo bad. I know that you can export animations to other software programs for better quality but the flip side is that you then have to buy second software package just to get decent results in the first one you bought. And then of course you've got to put the time in and learn the ins and outs of that new software so you know what you're doing. Somebody here recomended 3Dmax which I am fortunate enough to have but don't know how to use and I know that with the little amount of time I have available to this hobby I'm going to get in way over my head and just walk away frustrated. So people, I ask you all for what would be the best renderer for animations in the areas of simplicity, quality, easy to learn and price. I have to say that the deeper I get into this new hobby of mine it seems that there's always another obstacle to overcome, software to buy or add'l hardware like more ram to get. For the last 2 nights it was learning about codecs, divx and all the new terminology surrounding codecs. You people here have been a big help to me though and it makes me want to give something back to this community.
