     You might want to scale those lamp posts down a little.

   Like Jim says, it might be the 'handedness', or co-ordinate system of 
Anima8or, (which it looks like to me), so if your camera code has a 'Z' in 
it, change it to 'X', or vice-versa, and re-render.

    You should take a look at PoseRay sometime too.
