#Poser pro 11 review update

I have always been a fan of these manipulation gizmos and really like the wider ribbon 'handle' to work with on the new version.

Â€¢ Revamped Direct Manipulation Tool - Perhaps one of the best features is the reworked manipulation tools that allow for quick easy movement of the 3D object in the workspace. If you are not sure what this means then you probably don't need it but for those that model things for the real world. Real world measurements for practical applications. Anyone of these is a great feature but to have them all bumps the Poser render up many notches from what it was before. Â€¢ Area Lights, Caustics & Volumetrics - One can't say enough about the importance of these features and Poser 11 gives us these goodies that make our renders look better. Bringing control to an out of control situation is a plus. To have control over or match the orientation of any object is paramount to good final results. Â€¢ Animated Orientations - If you are an animator it doesn't get much bigger than this. A good comic book render has proven to be elusive to many but with this update, Poser is making strides in the right direction. Â€¢ Improved Realtime Comic Book Preview - Another big time improvement to something that is near and dear to many Rendo-ites. We get to choose between the existing FireFly or Superfly with PBR so those of us happy with former can tinker with the latter. But don't worry as nothing is being forced on us. Enjoy all the benefits of PBR based rendering combined with the Superfly material system. It's all about PBR these days and Poser is in the game too. Â€¢ Superfly PBR - Physically Based Rendering. In fact, there are so many new additions that we won't be able to cover them all so let's get started with a few of the most interesting additions.

#Poser pro 11 review update

Let's take a quick look at what's new in Poser Pro v11 as it seems Smith Micro has really loaded this update with lots of new features. As I write this I have Poser Pro 2012 installed on my latest workstation next to proprietary 3D applications because it still finds a place in my toolbox so I was very happy to get Poser 11 Pro and dig into it. Sooner or later I always circled back to Poser to do jobs no other application could do. Poser became my go to people application and it stayed in my toolbox long after I was forced to adopt other measures by my employers due to their workflow. I remember doing a lot of advertising work with Photoshop type tricks (which was an endeavor in itself back then) to composite people into images before finding Poser.

Unless you had a buddy that worked for a studio 3D character models were hard to come by. but that's not strong enough to measure the relief and power it put into the hands of 3D artists at the time. Add that to the fact that I couldn't sculpt my way out of a trash can back then much less create a rigged and working character Poser was. I remember an interface not exactly like anything I'd seen before. What I can't remember is how long ago it was because it is such a pioneer in its field. I can still remember my first encounter with Poser.
