Poser has become more capable and faster - exactly what you want in a 3D modeling and animation tool. In addition to all this, there's a more capable Morph Brush for enhancing models, and a Live Simulation preview which allows you to quickly render ray traced models or preview animation using Bullet Time. If you've ever set up a scene, added a cartoon render and discovered lines going funky when you animate, you'll be pleasantly surprised by Poser's ability to lock down lines and shaders in Comic Book mode. Doing this in your 3D tool counts for a lot, and the examples I saw were impressive and fast.

The latest addition offers a Comic Book Preview mode which allows artists to dial in the correct amount of lines and shading throughout a scene, even animated. Poser has become a powerful tool for graphic novelists as well, allowing artists to quickly pose and render characters. With models already rigged, and now with Bullet Time, it has become easier than ever to get realistic animation out of the box with very little effort. Many of the trickier elements of 3D modeling and animation are done for you (if you've ever rigged a biped using IK you know how tedious it can be!), leaving you to "play" with the models, lighting and accessories to get just the right look.

Applying regions of soft-body dynamics is as easy as painting on your character, and the results are truly impressive with very little learning curve for newbies. Sure, you've still got the morph targets you've come to know and love, but Poser Pro now offers five specialized tools for interactively loosening, tightening clothes while retaining their physics properties (rigid or soft-body deformations).īoth the Pro and basic editions now offer Bullet Physics, which simulates rigid-body and soft-body dynamics. Now with the fitting room you can quickly fit those accessories to your basic models faster. Poser already has a cottage industry of third-party models and props, including clothes and hair. Poser Pro now offers a "fitting room" which speeds up this process. Getting those to "fit" properly can take a long time. One pain point for many digital artists are the hair and clothes for models.
