How to Make Computer Animated Fairies
Fantasy imagery and animation are very popular these days, and can be very useful if you are creating a site that revolves around that topic. But you need to get animation you can use. You usually can't use someone else's animation without paying a licensing fee. But by using Poser Pro, and installing the right figures and props, you can easily make your own animation for your site.

Go to Renderosity, Animotions or any of the 3D sites that have free content you can download and use. Find clothing and other props, such as wings and a wand, that might work for your "fairy." Select clothing items that were made for the Poser figure you plan on using. You should also download any scenery or backgrounds that might be useful. Download the files you need, and install them to the Poser Runtime.

Go to the time line at the bottom of the screen. Select frame 1, select the "Direct Manipulation" tool and then select a body part on the figure. You can now use the tool to position the body part where you want it. Do this for any other parts you want to move. Then move to a later frame, and move the body again. Poser creates all the motion in between.

Go to the Menu topics, and select "Make Movie." Make the render settings what you want, keeping in mind that the higher the size and quality you pick, the longer the render will take. Then click "Make Movie" again, and save the file. The movie will now render to the location you picked.
