Poser 8 - First Person View test

This is a test for a First Person View effect in Poser 8. This small little clip took me a day, YES, litterally an entire day to render while I left my computer on. It might've been the mirror material or just the fact that my secondary computer isn't the fastest system, but I'm glad it's done now.

Also, abstain from telling me or pming me the sloppy animation being used here. The point of the video is not to display my animation skills. This is here to show you how you can attach the camera onto a figure's head for a special effect. I made the figure's head and arm move around in abnormal manners to show you. So please, chill out!

Instructions on how to make a First Person View camera in Poser:
--------------------------

1. Place a figure, any figure, in your scene.

2. Switch to the Tripod camera view.

3. Position the camera view close and directly in front of the figure's face.

4. With the Tripod camera selected, go to Object and then Change Parent..., and make the Tripod camera parented to the figure's head.

5. Switch back to any other camera. You should see the old Tripod camera pointing at the figure's face.

6. Use the twist tool to spin the Tripod camera around. Instead of looking at the figure's face, make it look like the camera sees through the eyes of the figure.

7. Animate your figure and scene as you normally would.

8. With the Tripod camera selected, render or make a movie of the scene.

9. Enjoy something that could mark a great intro for a movie. :)
