Description
A comprehensive reference guide to using Poser 3. Poser is a leader in the figure creation software market and with the high-end functionality of release 3.0, it should compete well against products such as the character studio component of 3DStudio and Humanoid from LightWave. Poser 3 includes an extensively redesigned user interface and many new features. The earlier versions were uncomplicated and easy-to-use, but version 3 offers much greater functionality, therefore users will need more information on how to use it effectively. The author is part of the beta testing team for MetaCreations. The book and CD are filled with illustrations, tutorials, and ready-to-use animations. Included is a detailed overview of the Poser 3 program and new interface. It teaches users how to create and pose both human and animal figures, creating articulated human hands, and expressive faces. The CD (Mac Win) includes animations, Poser image maps, backgrounds, 3D prop objects, and complete Poser characters and poses.
