Hi, foody. I'm new to all this Dungeon Craft work, but I am involved in a very nice online community for hobby 3d animation. The website is
www.renderosity.com. It specializes in a program called Poser which animates human and animal characters. There are many people at the forum who are interested in fantasy (just like me) so stop by and take a look around. I hope this helps a little.

(BTW: I'm Thoth at Renderosity too.)
