What an awesome idea HB!!! This is such a great way for us to create a community of photonovelers on the yards!!!
I have a question.
This is directed a Kualan mainly. I've been trying to suss the method you use for posing figures and scenes using Jedi Academy. If at all possible can you share your method with us.
Also if anyone knows of a character creator program that doesn't take moths to figure out it would be a great help. I've been looking at Poser, does anyone have any experience with it?

CC, I've used Pinnicle Studio Plus, and it worked pretty well. If you are going to use models then things get a bit tougher. I found that there tends to be a lot of colour bleed which affects the quality of the effect, so I tended to use photoshop to cut out the images I needed, then I'd have to save everything as a transparent .png file then use layers to get the effects I needed.
Suffice it to say I burned out making movies, they take forever, software crashes happen way too often causing hours of work to be lost, and there seems to be no consistency among programs, they all seem to work with different file formats and installing all of the different codecs can play havoc with a PC.
