Been using poser for months now, and I've created numerous props in Rhino, some Bryce-scapes and basically I sort of have my own 3D world coming together. What I cannot figure out is why I'm doing it? What is it for? What can I do with this? I can create some nifty pictures and animations etc.., but what I want to do is kinda... walk around in "MY world" ya know what I mean? As I watched my son play with his action figures one morning I realized thats kinda what I do with Poser. LOL Ok well not exactly but ya get the idea (I hope). OK so I am assuming more than a few people here have seen or played EverQuest, which to me looks like it was entirely created in 3D studio Max or something. How did they do that? How do you take it to the next level where your characters and models become another place? Am I makin' any sense here at all? heheh Hydra ~One shot of tequila shy of a straight jacket.

At this point it sounds like your talking more programming than animating, so, either you code your own engine, license someone else's, or use VRML on a web site. It's not easy. I'm hoping to one day get to this level, but it's a WAY off!

I think that's exactly why so many people here are starting poser-comics They take the props and characters they made, add a few scenes & a story, and suddenly it's no longer just some pictures, but a whole new world I want to do the same, but onto video. Unfortunately, when I sit down to make an animation my mind always goes blank SewerRat

Hey, Think of a story, make a story board, make the scenes and put a short movie together. That,s what I do to make my work make sense to myself. I use Maya 2 to do my final renders of scenes but Bryce can do the job nicely. At lest you can share movies with your friends and family. Good Luck and Pose On !!!!!!!!! Xurge
