Poser's speed performance has been a persistent weak point. Toon features in most other applications are more robust. Also, the Comic Book Preview Mode does not work with strand- or patch-based hair and other objects. The style presets can be edited by moving the lights in the scene and adjusting the threshold slider to get the desired result, but the process is clunky and unpolished. The Comic Book Preview Mode has only seven style presets, with no way to adjust the preset settings other then a single slider for light and shadow thresholds. The new Comic Book Preview Mode, which turns scenes into line art, cartoons, and drawings, has much promise but regrettably falls short. The Comic Book Preview Mode has much promise, but in the current releases it is very limited. Another mesh editing tool is exact vertex-by-vertex editing with weight-map painting support in the Magnet and Deformation tools. High levels of subdivisions may slow down modeling, animation, and rendering. While some of the new Poser models lend themselves to being subdivided, many of the older Poser models have topologies that cannot be effectively subdivided. Subdivision levels may be applied for scene preview only or at render time. The new Pixar subdivision surfaces smooth low-resolution models while maintaining poseable topology. Pixar subdivision surfaces do a great job of smoothing faceted models, though there are computational limits, and some Poser models cannot be effectively subdivided. During testing, advanced physics like jiggles and collision-based deformations can be applied, edited and re-calculated (in real-time) to most any object in the scene, though sometimes the process is not intuitive and there are limitations with some clothing objects. Smith Micro did a nice job of implementing Bullet physics in Poser. Both versions also feature improvements, such as the incorporation of vertex weight-map editing into various toolsets, optimized OpenGL preview, a better Morph Brush, new model libraries and much more.īullet physics is an open-source hard- and soft-body physics engine that is part of many popular applications like Maya and Blender.
SMITHMICRO POSER PRO PRO
In these latest releases, Poser delivers better physics dynamics, subdivision surfaces, improved clothes fitting (Poser 2014 only), and enhanced performance, but there is still room for improvement.īoth Poser 10 and Poser Pro 2014 ship with Bullet physics, Pixar subdivision surfaces, and real-time Comic Book Preview mode.

Under Smith Micro's development Poser's character design tools, lighting and rendering have been steadily updated.

Nearly a decade later, Poser was acquired by Smith Micro in 2007. As a result of the MetaCreations acquisition, Poser has a shared history and look and feel with Bryce, Carrara, and Painter, among other applications. Poser was acquired by MetaCreations, which released Poser 3. Originally, the idea was to provide artists with a sort of digital maquette to serve as reference for drawing the human figure. Poser began its development life in 1997, when Fractal Design released Poser 1 and 2. Onevup.If You Like Poser, You'll Love These Updates - But Some Issues Remain Thousands of poses, morphs, clothing, hair, materials, and accessories are included. Figures are pre-rigged so artists can click-and-drag to pose body parts, sculpt faces, or create ethnic varieties. With Poser, human and animal models are prepared for you to start designing and posing immediately. Quickly and easily create shape variations with Poser’s brush-based morphing tools. All features and models are provided in a natural 3D environment for realistic depth, lighting, and shadowing on any figure in any pose.
SMITHMICRO POSER PRO FULL
For those who require finer control full body morphs, facial expression morphs, and bone rigging are available for any figure. Click-and-drag to sculpt faces, pose body parts, or create various ethnic varieties. Human and animal models are included for you to start designing and posing immediately. Poser makes working with the human form easily accessible with an intuitive user interface. Design with the human form for art, illustration, animation, comics, web, print, education, medical visualization, games, storyboarding, pre-visualization, and more! Poser delivers the power of interactive 3D figure design, offering infinite opportunities to portray human diversity, form, and expression. Whether you create for interactive media, animation, or the web, there’s always a need to integrate the human form.
