<<if I'm getting my terminology correct the "monkey" is big mechanical thingy with joints and lots of wires. You "pose" it in various ways and create keyframes in that pose.>> So it is like the "dinosaur input device" used in the Jurassic Park movie. Having seen the film "Tim Burton's Christmas Nightmare" I was really impressed what tradtional model animators can achieve. Combining their skills with the power of computer graphics would produce some phenomenal results. David "No monkey business" Gould
