Poser 5
Poser 5 is the ultimate 3D-character design and animation tool for artists
and animators. Create 3D Figures using a diverse collection of ready-to-use
3D human and animal models. Poser's innovative interface makes figure
design, posing and animating fast and easy. Map facial photos, grow and
style dynamic hair, and create dynamic cloth to add extraordinary realism
to your figure.
Quickly output movies and images from your posed figures for content
in Web, print, and video projects. Add life to your 3D worlds using exported,
posed figures.
For those new to 3D, digital artists and hobbyists alike, Poser 5 quickly
generates fast and dynamic results that will leave you speechless.
Poser 5 delivers all of these NEW powerful features in a single affordable,
easy-to-use package:
- New highly accurate male, female and children figures; all fully poseable
and with photo-realistic textures.
- Map facial photos to add that personal touch to your figure.
- Use Morph Putty™ to directly manipulate facial expressions.
- Grow dynamic hair that can be styled and animated. Make it thick
or thin, straight or curly, or even use it to create
- ealistic fur or grass.
- Create realistic dynamic cloth and make it flow and drape around
any object in your scene.
- Build powerful node-based material shaders to create any material
texture you can imagine.
- Produce astounding results with FireFly™, Poser 5’s all-new
hybrid micro-polygon and Ray Trace render engine with subdivision surface
rendering of polygons.
- The Poser 5 Content CD contains a host of extras, including props
and textures.
PRODUCT INFORMATION:
FireFly™ Renderer
Poser 5 includes the completely new and powerful FireFly renderer. FireFly
is a hybrid micro-polygon and Ray Trace render engine with subdivision
surface rendering of polygons, to give you:
Render-time polygon smoothing
Displacement mapping
3D motion blur
Depth of field
Procedural textures
Shader trees with material nodes
Ray Traced refraction and reflection
With FireFly, you control the rendering process, including creating powerful
node-based shaders. This powerful combination produces breathtaking images
and movies. In addition, the Poser4 renderer is included along with new
Draft or Production render modes. Together these allow you to save time
while creating, yet output realistic final renders.
Materials Room
Poser 5’s new Material Room lets you create amazing materials using
powerful node-based shaders. Build a shader tree using one or more shader
nodes, each one of which controls an aspect of the final material. Combine
procedurals, image maps, animations, fractal, and math nodes to create
virtually any material you can imagine. Save you work and apply it any
time in any scene you like with Poser 5’s new Materials Library.
Photo-based Facial Mapping
Want to create a virtual you? Friend? Import facial-photos to easily model
new characters and create texture maps. Poser 5’s new Face Room
allows you to create lifelike results by mapping any face onto a 3D head.
Use Morph Putty™ to interactively sculpt facial expressions. Generate
new faces with a button click, or create caricatures for wild characters!
Ethnic, age and gender parameter controls round out this powerful set
of facial tools.
Dynamic Hair
Grow strand-based hair on figures and props in your Poser 5 scene using
the new Hair Room! Growth controls allow you to control aspects such as
length and thickness. Styling controls allow you to shape your hair –
make it thick or thin, straight or curly. Apply dynamics such as gravity
to your hair to create realistic effects during animation.
Morph Putty™
The Morph Putty tool allows you to interactively sculpt morph targets
and see your results in real time as you work! Select which morph targets
to include or exclude from the sculpting process. ‘Pin’ object
vertices in place once you have them where you want. In the Face Room,
use Morph Putty to directly manipulate facial expressions by clicking
and pulling vertices!
Dynamic Cloth
Clothify your prop to transform it into realistic dynamic cloth complete
with physics. Assign collision objects to make the cloth flow and drape
around any object in your scene. Add the new Wind Force prop to create
realistic wind effects for your animations.
Collision Detection
Enable Collision Detection to avoid object-level collisions in your scene
while posing or animating. Control whether collision detection is on or
off for each individual object in your scene. Enabling the Show Collisions
feature visibly displays all collisions in your scene.
Hierarchical Parameters Palette
The updated Parameters palette allows you to arrange morph, transformation
and dynamic parameter dials into groups and sub-groups, and to expand/collapse
these groups as needed. Organizing parameter dials the way you want speeds
up your scene creation.
Hierarchical Libraries
Easily manage your in-product content with new Hierarchical Libraries.
Add and remove folders directly within Poser to organize your content
and how it’s displayed the way you want.
Content Paradise™
Poser 5’s Content Room hosts Content Paradise, your portal to the
vast virtual world of Poser add-on content. Content Paradise lets you
easily search, purchase, and download third-party content from the Web
without ever leaving Poser! A simple and intuitive user interface makes
the process efficient and easy. And Poser 5’s Download Manager can
automatically detect and install many types of content!
New In-product Content
Poser 5 includes new male, female and children figures. All are highly
accurate 3D human figures featuring fully articulated hands and feet,

Additional Features Available in Poser 5:
Sketch Designer: A rendering option that creates
a scene using a series of brush strokes. The result is a hand-drawn
quality that defies the traditional 3D rendered look.
Conforming Clothing: Articles of conforming clothing
have been created as if they were a Poser figure. These attach themselves
to the underlying figure, and as the figure moves so do the conforming
clothes.
Lighting Controls: Poser includes infinite, global
and spot light sources. With the Point-at function a light can track
a figure or prop’s motion. Animate any light’s position,
brightness, color and Point-at controls.
Camera Controls: Poser includes 3 independent
cameras for viewing your scenes, including Back, Bottom and Auxiliary.
All are easily controls with the intuitive Trackball control. Animate
any camera’s focal length, scale and position. Save camera
settings using the Memory Dots.
Animation: Easily animate figures, hands, faces,
lights, cameras, props, morph targets and materials with Poser’s
intuitive Animation Palette. Apply Spline, Linear, Constant and
Break Interpolation to key frames. Use the Graph Palette for precise
control of any scene element or parameter..
Animated Deformers: Use a Magnet Deformer to
sculpt Poser figures, a Wave Deformer to animate ripples on surface,
or a Turbulence Deformer to create an elaborate special effect such
as a splash or explosive blast. Deformers can be animated and used
to create custom morph targets.
Custom Figure Creation Tools: Poser includes
polygon and vertex picking and grouping, as well as hierarchical
selection tools. These allow you to import 3D geometry, break it
into body parts and generate new Poser figures. You can even create
Inverse Kinematics (IK) chains.
Python Script Support: The customized PoserPhyton
object-oriented scripting language lets you perform and automate
advanced Poser functions. Manipulate scene objects and export data
for your own use.
In-product Content: Poser includes a diverse
collection of ready-to-use figures, animals, poses, facial expressions,
fully articulated hands, props, clothes, hair, light sets, camera
sets and materials.
Web Enabled: Use Viewpoint Experience Technology
to export Web-deployable characters and animated 3D content for
your Web pages. Export 2D Macromedia's Flash® Web animations
directly from Poser scenes.
Innovative User Interface: Poser 5’s unique
user interface is very powerful, yet intuitive and easy to use.
It unlocks the mysteries of 3D-character animation and figure design.
Customize the user interface to suit your needs and save your preferences
using Memory Dots.
