Hey Posimators, If I'm understanding the manual correctly, it looks like we might finally have some sort of ANIMATED TEXTURES in P5! In the material room there are these things called "nodes" which control the material shaders. One of the nodes is called the "movie node" which, and I quote, "allows you to add animations to materials." See page 325 of the manual. If I'm reading this correctly, it says will allow you to add an animated avi (or mpeg? quicktime? -- not sure) to a surface. There's even the ability to loop it. If this is what I think it, then it's a very BIG DEAL!! (Please correct me if I'm wrong!) This alone makes the new Firefly renderer well worth the money. I think there are lots of hidden SURPRISES like this in this new version of Poser. People who are trashing P5 (And the new renderer) so quickly drive me crazy. I think there's more here than meets the eye. We just don't know what we're doing yet. It's too new, too different from P4. By the way, I'm part of the "silent minority" of Poser animators who don't yet have a number. But I'm ten minutes into a forty-minute animated film using nothing but Poser, so I guess it's time I finally came out. --jjsemp
