I have used Poser, and sometimes LifeForms, to make animations - No other animation experience, and the only other 3D software that I have experienced is Autocad.

My employer has 3D Autocad drawings that he wants me to make into an animation.

I am willing to learn new software.

The good news is that the moving objects do not have to circle each other while doing complex arm figures or the like.

The problem is Poser's limited ability to interpolate frames.

Any suggestions would be welcome.
Best,
Milt
