Poser has always been jam packed with valuable, ready to use 3D content, and Poser 7 is loaded to the brim! Leading the way will be Simon and Sydney, the new male and female figures. Sydney and Simon are complete with animated poses, still poses, full body morphs, facial expressions and morphs, hair, clothing, light sets, and more. Poser 7 also features: • Exclusive third party content from RuntimeDNA, Meshbox Designs, Netherworks, Vanishing Point and more • New wildlife including an eagle, wolf and others • Extensive updates to the Poser Child figures with new morphs, textures and rigging • New Motion Capture Data, Light Sets, Poses and Materials • G2 Male, Female figures • Forest and Plants by RuntimeDNA • RoboShark by VanishingPoint • Plus a whole lot more
Using the new Talk Designer in Poser 7, even beginning animators can easily make figures talk with facial movements that match real human behavior! Talk Designer will work with Sydney and Simon, as well as James, Jessi, and the Generation 2 Koji and Kelvin figures.
Add incredible realism to your animations with new lip syncing functionality in Poser 7! Talking is one of the most challenging tasks in character animation, and using the new Talk Designer in Poser 7, even beginning animators can easily make figures talk with facial movements that match real human behavior!
With Talk Designer, you have the power to control the type and level of emotion, enunciation, and head and eye movement including the figure's blink rate. Import a sound file and Poser 7 will automatically animate your figure's lip, eye and head movements to match! Whether you are a seasoned professional or are just learning how to animate, now you can create movies or flash animations with characters that speak to add a whole new dimension of realism to your art.
Talk Designer will work with many e frontier figures, including Sydney and Simon, the new Poser 7 figures, as well as James, Jessi, and the Generation 2 Koji and Kelvin figures. Third party content creators will be able to provide configuration files that make any viseme-equipped* figures Talk Designer compatible! * Visemes are the visual representations of phonemes.
Step back and forth through up to 100 recent changes within your scene! Poser 7's Multiple Undo and can be applied on a wide range of your document changes, including all actions from the Poser library, applying poses, or deleting figures and props from your scenes.
Give your creativity and productivity a boost with Multiple Undo and Redo in Poser 7! Freely explore poses, morph target changes, and body transformations without worrying about making mistakes or having to save multiple versions of your project at every new turn.
In Poser 7, you can return to earlier poses and designs, and can step back and forth through changes within your scene! Even steps you couldn't previously back out are now undoable. Multiple Undo and Redo is an incredible timesaver that can be applied on a wide range of your document changes, including all actions from the Poser library, applying poses, or deleting figures and props from your scenes
Render up to four times faster with Multi-threaded Rendering (up to four threads) on machines with multiple CPUs. Poser 7 creates even more realistic images with High Dynamic Range Image (HDRI) support for Image Based Lighting and textures.
Render up to four times faster with Multi-threaded Rendering on machines with multiple CPUs. FireFly takes advantage of the processing power of the multi-core and multi-processor systems available on the market by rendering on up to four threads simultaneously. This optimization may result in much shorter render times for most scenes.
Render more complex scenes than ever with new Tiled Texture Loading. Texture memory needs at render time are reduced to less than 10% (compared to previous versions for texture-heavy scenes)! Hard disk caching results in greatly reduced memory requirements. FireFly's tiled texture loading system also takes advantage of a new Texture Filtering approach, which uses a fraction of the memory of its predecessor.
Create even more realistic images with HDRI! Poser now supports High Dynamic Range Images (HDRI) for Image Based Lighting and textures, giving you rendered lighting quality comparable to analog photo film!
Create superior movies using Poser 7's new Non-Linear Animation! Now you can use Animation Layers to separate the various parts of an animation into independent pieces that can be individually moved, edited, hidden, or even phased gradually in and out! At playback Poser seamlessly compiles all the separate layers into a single, cohesive animation!
Animation layers are supported by a variety of Poser's animation tools, such as the Walk Designer and Talk Designer, as well as the content Library, making it simple to organize and even reuse various portions of your animations.
Make your characters walk and talk, and even chew gum at the same time while keeping every strand of animation flexible! Using layers to combine animations makes it all easy and intuitive - since you are blending different layers of animation, you can combine different actions. Click and drag layers horizontally to have your animation building blocks start earlier or later in time.
To help you organize your animations, Include in Playback allows you to hide or include layers when viewing the entire animation. Your creativity is the only limit to what you can create with layered, non-linear animation!
Add a whole new level of detail to your Poser 7 scenes using new brush-like morphing tools! The new Create tab on the Morphing Tool palette provides powerful interactive controls for creating your own custom morph targets. Easily "paint" dimples, moles or creases on your figures with simple strokes, just like you would with any brush tool. Use custom morph targets to create even more dynamic facial expressions; to change the appearance of bodies; to pull conforming clothing out past protruding body parts; to improve cloth simulation results; and for a wide variety of other uses as well. Using the new morphing tools, selected areas or single points of the mesh can be pushed or pulled, smoothed or restored. Start by selecting the size of the area that you want to modify using the Radius control - small for detail work and large for broader changes. Choose from five brush styles that vary in falloff (how the change blends toward the edge of the selected area), from a very soft brush that blends gradually toward the edge to a crisp brush that affects the entire area the same way. You can also define the magnitude of your changes, whether they accumulate or cap at a certain size, and if they act on a specific point or stroke like a brush tool. Make your changes either in surface mode, which will modify the mesh along the direction of surface normals, or in screen mode, which will allow deformations in any direction you wish. When you are done, save your morphed Poser 7 figures into the library for later use. You don't have to be an expert to take your scenes to a whole new level, using Poser's intuitive morph target creation tools!
