Poser is an animation suite designed to appeal to both professional artists and amateur animation enthusiasts working with 3D and 2D models. The program allows for creation of impressive visuals and models to be rendered as part of larger projects or left as works of art with their own merit.
The latest versions of Poser let you use the built-in Pixar Subdivision Surfaces library of objects, incorporating various shapes, forms and sizes, then render the object or shape you need using the rendering engine called Firefly. Model creation and placing is aided by the Bullet Physics system for simulating realistic behavior of rigid and soft surfaces, which helps create a dynamic feel of the imagery and models. Magnet Deformer plugins are available to help you adjust model position and location, deform and change model shapes any way you want.
One of the strongest points of Poser is that it lets you use quick and stable preview modes, the Raytrace preview, where you remain capable of adjusting the models and their poses using improved tools and enjoying accelerated OpenGl speed. You can even use the Morph brush and node components to quickly create complex objects, correct the colors and do pretty much anything until you get the visuals you desire, all in real time.
Poser is a strong, elegant and serious toolset for people who want to make some real animation or go into model creation.
v9.0.3.26143 [Sep 24, 2011]
Poser 9 is the world’s easiest way to create art and animation using 3D characters. Poser’s simple to learn tools and included characters let you focus on making art, whether you’re a professional artist or dabbling in graphics for the very first time. Poser includes over 3 gigabyte of ready-to-pose, fully textured, human and animal figures, basic accessories such as hair, clothing, pose sets, real world props and 3D scene elements. With Poser 9 you can start creating 3D character art and animation in minutes. With the Face Room, customize Poser characters using facial photographs. Add dynamic hair and clothing. Build a3D scene on Poser’s virtual stage with props, lights and cameras. Automatically generate walking or running animations and talking characters. Import motion capture files for even more animated realism. Animate lights and cameras, and then render scenes into photorealistic images and video for web, print, and film projects.
Along with 8 brand new 3D humans, Poser 9 includes an improved user interface to maximize your workspace while providing better workflow, a new search-enabled library so you can find, organize and use your content easier, a dependent parameter tool that lets you teach objects in the scene to interact with each other, cross body morph brushes to smoothly sculpt a figure across every body part, new photorealistic rendering features that more accurately reproduce light and shadows, and improved character rigging for even better character bending. To save time, Poser 9 has been performance optimized so you can pose your characters and render them faster on today’s multiple processor systems.
Poser 9 includes advanced Weight Map Rig support to generate better performing 3D characters that can be more easily posed with natural joints across the body. Hybrid Rigging supports both traditional Poser Sphere and Capsule zones to be used in combination. Poser 9 also supports both traditional grouped body part figures and single mesh figures. Weight Map Support for third party figures is delivered within our native poser file format, the PZ3, an open, well documented format that has been at the heart of the creative Poser community for over 15 years.
Poser 9’s improved Firefly render engine now supports Indirect Lighting with Irradiance Caching for Global Illumination effects and even supports rendering with Ambient Occlusion. New Shader nodes enable SubSurface Scattering for luminescent skin tones, FastScattering for bioluminescent effects and a Tri-specular Hair Shader for more appealing trans-mapped hair highlights. Poser’s physically correct light fall-off produces more photo-real final renderings. Even share final content via Facebook with our direct upload to your Poser gallery.
Other new features include multi-select drag and drop from Poser’s Library, Expanded Context Menus for better workflow, new camera modes to focus on your selected area, pressure sensitive tablet support in the Morph Brush, improved Content Management system with drag and drop, auto conforming, search, meta data support, zone strength display for figure rigging, parameter change indicator and the Recent Render palette.
