Attached Link: AniMotions: Create the Adventure!

Well, it's been awhile since I've really talked to any of you or been much of a part of the "Poser" Community. However, a few months ago, Diane asked me to come back and try to help her. At first I didn't really want anyone to know that I was back and helping out. I was afraid that my involvement would only hurt everything in the long run. However, one thing have begun to become increasingly clear to me and that is... That though there is a calling for more than just ONE Poser Community web site (such as: Renderosity, 3D Commune, PoserPros, PFO, RunDNA) Diane, myself and a few others have no desire to continue in that path and run yet one more rendition of a Poser Community web site. Understand, we have nothing against Poser or the Poser Community and even though we are redirecting our company efforts to other "less traveled" areas, our new adventure will still include a place for the users of Poser and for the Poser Community if they wish to be a part of it. We'd rather expand ourselves, our focus and business out to other interests than a be just another "knock off" web site. So what does this mean? As you may've noticed our web site the GRC has been gone... an end of an era, long gone, HISTORY!! It has been renamed to Animotions and has been redesigned to be more genre specific. The goal of AniMotions is to offer a full and comprehensive Web Site dedicated to supporting fans and company producers of Video Games, Comic Books and Anime from all over the world. Our motto: "You've read it, you've seen it, you've played it... We will help you create it!!" As I write this, we - along with Doug Sturk and the rest of his gang at the 3D Comic Collective - have just finished building and redesigning the program that will make up the AniMotions Web Site. This three tiered Web Site has the following features for the members of our Web Site... Forums - A separate hierarchy system and sub forum(s) created for each genre (Video Games, Anime, Comics). Members will be able to fully discuss each subject that interests them with other members that are interested in that subject. Galleries - The galleries will be divided into each category (Games, Anime, Comics) and enable the members of the AniMotions Web Site to post and show off their own fan art or work to each other. FreeStuff - A section where 3D Artists will be able to share with the other members of the AniMotions Web Site such things as: 3D Characters and Meshes, Textures, Light Sets and other 3D related material (Note: The trading of Warez or copyrighted products will not be tolerated). Job Boards - An area in each section (Games, Anime, Comics) where members will be able to post resumes and garner work from their talents and abilities. Tutorial Section - An area where members of the AniMotions web site can share with each other the techniques that they use. Online Store - A place where members of the AniMotions Web Site will be able to purchase products that cater to each category. (Example: Video games, Anime DVDs and VHS tapes, Comic Books and Comic Memorabilia). Members will also be able to buy 3D created products to help in their creation of Fan Art or Video Games. AniMotions wanted to open with a BANG and what better way to do so by opening with a CONTEST!! With the melting of the popular 3D Comic Collective into the brand new AniMotions, we bring to you Contests!! The very first AniMotions Comic Collective contest has a very loose theme but LOTS of prizes! The "The Beginning." or "The End." Contest theme should be a nice segue into the new playground that is being created with AniMotions. The Goal is to create an image which best depicts one of the captions "The Beginning." or "The End.". This is very open to interpretation and intentionally vague, so everyone should feel free to run with it and Be Creative. Our sponsors for this contest include, Evoia ( makers of Carrara 2 ), Right Hemisphere, Beyond Bent, Lourdes Mercado, Powerheroes.com, Wyrmmaster, Valandar and our very own Sturkwurk. So if you are interested, please feel free to stop in and poke around some!! Also any of you interested in helping out, please drop us a line at: animotions3d@aol.com I want to thank Renderosity for allowing me to post this and I want to thank all of you, the Poser Community, for the time we've spent together and the friendships we've formed and I wish all of you the very, very best!! Sincerely, Jack D. Kammerer
