Sorry to cross post, but this question is "broader"  than just amimation...

I just read the post about animating POSER figures posted
8/1/2004(in the poser topics... )

  I was wondering if anything has changed since then?  Also...a long while
ago, someone explained to me how to write a command SORT of like this
(???);




   #declare My_OBJECT=object { "MY_POSER_FIGURE" concat "frame_number"}
       object{ My-OBJECT  }


so as to automatically render each of the differently posed  object files
from POSER & POSERAY.  Any help?????
  (it's the "CONCAT" thing...???)

The concat format is wrong. Use:
#include concat("MY_POSER_FIGURE",str(frame_number,-2,0),".EXTENTION")
where "MY_POSER_FIGURE" is a string of the constant part of the file name and
"EXTENTION" is the 
actual extention of the file to include. You need str to convert the variable
"frame_number" into a 
string, the -2 is to left pad with zeros and using at least 2 digits. (use -3 if you
have from 10 to 
999 frames)
