Hi all,
I've tried avimator, I've tried daz3d and both have frustrated me somewhat with their little bugs and lack of features. Is poser 5 worth buying now it's only $50 and is it a good tool for creating poses dances etc?
Thanks in advance
Sarah

I think it's well worth the money, but due note that since you are asking this question you must be very new to animating. No tool will magically make the job easy for you, Poser or otherwise. Don't get frustrated if you spend the money and can't immediately make an awesome dance animation; life doesn't work like that, you gotta spend time learning the tool.

Be careful... I don't believe poser5 is compatible with MacOSX 10.4 and up. (though poser6 is compatible)
I haven't anything else to create animations though so I can't say much more than that.

I may have a BVH export solution for DAZ|Studio (like an alternative plugin)...

Poser 5 is compatible with Mac OS X 10.4 and up. I'm running it at this moment.  |

Thanks for the replies folks. I got myself a copy of poser 5 found a few problems and a work around sort of .
I couldn't seem to get the frame one bit right in my head, so I create the animation and then fire up avimator, I copy the first frame of avimator and then load in the bvh file, pasting the first frame to the first of the bvh I loaded. this seems to get rid of some of the strange effects of body parts not moving like they do in poser when I load them into sl (but not always) , is there another way of doing this without having to use avimator?
