Product Description
Poser 6 brings the art of figure design and posing right to your desktop, with an innovative
UI to make working with the human form easily accessible. Included human and animal models come ready for you to start designing
and posing immediately. You can click-and-drag to interactively sculpt faces, pose body parts, or create various ethnic varieties.
For those who require finer control, full body morphs, facial expression morphs, and bone rigging are easily accessible for
any figure. All features and models are provided in a natural 3D environment for realistic depth, lighting and shadowing on
any figure in any pose. You can pose any figure by clicking and dragging a body part. With Document Display Styles you can
view and design your figure in silhouette, outline, wireframe, textured, and more. The program lets you manipulate individual
body parts, including the full body, facial expressions and fully articulated hands, and interactively sculpt and design figures
in real time, including the body and facial expressions. Object-level Collision Detection helps with posing and avoids collisions
when animating.
What's New in Poser 6?
- New Figures
Poser 6 introduces James and Jessi, new figures with amazing realism to bring a new level of photorealstic
content to your artwork. Both figures accurately depict the human form, have lifelike skin textures, and full morph target
sets to design your own custom figures with facial expressions. Also included are new boy and girl children figures, Ben and
Kate, who complete the new Poser family. The new Poser figures come with photorealistic texture maps, full body morphs, facial
expression morphs, and are fully rigged for posing.
- More Content
Poser's Content Paradise now includes a host of top content providers, to bring you a diverse range of
Poser 6 models, textures, poses, character packs, utilities and free stuff. A redesigned interface makes finding Poser content
faster and easier than ever before.
- Enhanced UI
Poser's innovative UI is centered on a productive room-based environment. Individual Pose, Setup, Materials,
Hair and Cloth rooms provide easy feature access for each step in the creative process. In addition to rooms, Poser uses floating
palettes and windows. You can customize your Poser workspace by hiding/displaying and relocating controls anywhere you like.
You can even save up to nine different screen configurations for the entire Poser workspace.
- Shadow Catching
Poser 6 introduces several new features to support artists in rendering more true to life shadow effects.
For example the NEW Shadow Catcher feature enables you to separate shadows from their underlying surface, and put them virtually
anywhere. These new features make image composition and integrating 3D figures into graphic design easier.
- New Toon Outlines
The New Toon Outline feature uses post-processing during rendering to draw an outline around the
edges of cartoon images. Poser 6 offers customizable outline styles, enabling you to further personalize your cartoon shading
look. Add a distinctive style to any cartoon imagery for comics. Now you have the choice to add outlines to any cartoon imagery
you create with Poser. This feature's effect is most dramatic when combined with a cartoon shader node. Configurable Cartoon
Shading preview styles allow you to approximate the final render results as you work.
- OpenGL
OpenGL delivers accelerated performance when previewing anything from cartoon to photorealistic 3D figures.
Now you can display vivid textures and lighting in real-time when designing figures. You can even render high resolution images
using the OpenGL Preview renderer. There are accelerated previews for your 3D scenes, so you can see vivid textures and lighting
in real-time. This feature works with all Document Display Styles, including wireframe, cartoon, and more. You can render
out your 3D scene display with the OpenGL Preview renderer, and easily switch between SreeD Software and OpenGL Hardware for
scene previews--which means you can maximize your system’s resources and spend your time creating rather than waiting.
- New Ambient Occlusion
Ambient Occlusion makes figures seem as though they are in the natural lighting environment
of the real world. Ambient Occlusion is available on every light to create accurate soft shadow effects, thus giving scenes
a new degree of realism. The new Ambient Occlusion shader node makes figures and objects appear as though they are in a natural
lighting environment. Ambient Occlusion darkens surfaces within a scene whose exposure to light is blocked by other objects.
This effect uses raytracing to calculate the degree to which other objects within a scene occlude the ambient light of a surface
at a given point. Surfaces with more occlusion will be rendered as darker than surfaces with little or no occlusion. You can
set Ambient Occlusion lighting for all objects, or select lighting effects focused on specific parts of your scene.
More About Poser
- Photorealism
Poser 6 allows you to quickly design and pose pre-rigged figures, or create original figures to suit your
needs. With professional lighting effects and shading materials, a large library of content and photorealistic textures, you
can create professional-quality imagery and movies. You can also integrate with other 3D applications, or composite photorealistic
imagery into your favorite image editing or motion graphics programs. Just some of the features in Poser 6 include: accurate
human male, female and children 3D models; large libraries of content included; quick design/pose pre-rigged figures with
full morph target sets; realistic perspective in 3D space; and professional lighting effects and procedural shader material
trees
- Camera Controls
Cameras represent your window into the Poser workspace. You can use them as a director would, to set
up your ideal camera shots for each image or animation frame. Or, you can take advantage of the benefit that comes with 3D
work, of being able to render a scene from multiple angles. In either case, Poser 6 offers multiple configurable cameras to
facilitate your creative workflow. Poser includes a variety of independent cameras for viewing your scene, and a four-pane
camera view. All are easily controlled with an innovative Trackball control for intuitive scene setup.
- Realistic Lighting
Lighting is an essential component of any 3D image. Lights add colors, cast shadows, create specific
effects, and set the tone for your scene. Poser 6's light controls allow you to add and individually configure different types
of light sources in your Poser scene. When these light configuration options are combined with Poser 6's powerful rendering
tools, the lighting possibilities are unlimited.
- Bone Rigging
Create new, fully poseable Poser figures from any 3D object in a few easy steps. Import 3D geometry, break
it into body parts and generate new Poser figures. You can even create Inverse Kinematics (IK) chains. Inverse Kinematics
(IK) delivers natural character motion by modeling the hierarchical interactions of bones and joints, so that when you move
a hand, the arm naturally follows.
- OpenGL Preview
New OpenGL hardware acceleration offers improved performance with figure Posing and Preview renders.
Easily switch between SreeD Software and OpenGL. Hardware rendering for scene previews means you can maximize your system's
resources and spend your time creating rather than waiting.
- Photo-based Facial Mapping
Want to create a virtual you? Friend? Import facial photos to easily model new characters
and create texture maps. Poser's Face Room allows you to create lifelike results by mapping any face onto a 3D head. You can
also generate new faces with a button click, or create caricatures for wild characters. Ethnicity, age, and gender parameter
controls round out this powerful set of facial tools. |
