Poser 7 - Very Useful for Artists/Illustrators!
Poser 7 3D Figure Design and Animation (Win/Mac) is tremendously helpful for artists/illustrators who can't afford to hire live models every time they want to draw a human figure or portrait. You can create a fairly wide variety of faces using only the included figures (particularly when combined with the free downloadable figures available at the Poser website). Virtually every part of the body (and face) can be moved around to achieve the desired pose and facial expression.
On the downside: The program can be unbearably slow at times and it's a tedious process to customize faces and create poses, but the end result is usually worth the effort. The learning curve is not as bad as some other reviewers seem to indicate, but don't expect to master it overnight (and ... Read More
Great deal!
It was great to find what I was looking for here and it was even a better to find it for a price lower than anywhere else.
Shipping is unsatisfactory
I can't start without saying this first, I received my copy from the mail yesterday. Amazon sent it inside a bubble wrap envelope, I expected to receive it in a box. The box was totally beat up when I received it and the manufacturer packaged a scratched, almost unacceptable CD inside the CD case. This gave me a second thought about ordering from Amazon again. I was thinking of returning the item but gave it a try anyway. After trying a few times, I was able to install it in my computer. The program itself is great. It's true that the learning curve is the biggest challenge but the box comes with a 410-page reference manual. Although I also bought Poser 7 Revealed by Murdock to get started with the program. It is a good consolation that the box ... Read More
A review by old school an artist seeking models
First I'd have to say that Poser 7 is a very elaborate program--almost too elaborate. I was looking for a program where I could manipulate some virtual models for sketching (actual pen and paper). I don't do computer graphic design, make internet comics or do any digital art so this review wouldn't apply probably to anyone but traditional artists seeking a simple program for a visual reference. So in a nutshell:
-The $169 bucks it costs may or may not be worth it to you. There is a huge variety of model types available to manipulate (males, females, skeletons) and you can adjust the ethnicity of the models with a scroll wheel buttton. Unless you're a pro you're not going to render anything close to the chick on the cover of the ... Read More
Great product but confusing prices
I've had the opportunity to play with Poser 7, and it's a fantastic product. That being said, it does require some work to fully utilize and appreciate all of it's features. I'm about to buy my own copy, and I have a question: Why 2 different prices? Are they 2 different products, or is one version limited? Afterall $30.00 difference isn't that much, but I rather buy more software...or put another 2 gallons of gas in my truck (HAHAHAHA). Does anyone know what the differenc is between the $199 and the $169 versions?
