5.0 out of 5 stars Try your hand at 3D character animation!, December 17, 2002
This review is from: Poser 4 Full and Poser Pro Pack (CD-ROM)
Imagine being able to create 3D characters and animate them, just like the pros do! I bought this program a couple of years ago, when I was just starting to play around with 3D graphics, and I have not been disappointed with my purchase. It's easy enough for a beginner to start playing with, and yet flexible enough to for seasoned pros to create masterpieces. If you've never seen Poser before, here's what you're looking at. Poser 4 and Pro Pack come with plenty of pre-built models for you to use, including male and female adults and kids, skeletons, and animals. Each model can be customized for a different look. With a turn of a dial, you can change the faces on the people models to create entirely different characters. A fairly complete library of hair styles, clothing, and props also comes with the program, letting you dress your characters up in style. There are also libraries of pre-set poses and lighting sets as well. If you have access to an image editing program like Adobe Photoshop or Corel Photopaint, you can really spice up things up by creating custom textures for the various models (imagine being able to put your own face on a 3D model!). With all these tools, you can create anything from photo-realistic images to abstract style art. The key frame animation tools are simple and easy to use, and allow you to let your characters walk, run, or even dance.

Keep in mind, this is old style Poser. Poser 5 is out now, with a slew of new features, but it's looks like there's a love/hate relationship going on right now between the graphics community and Poser 5 (Poser 5 does have a few bugs and is not as stable as Poser 4). If you've never used Poser or any other graphics program before, Poser 4 with the Pro Pack might just be the place to start. There's a ton of information available online for Poser 4 Pro Pack, including such sites as the Poser Pros Forums (www.poserpros.com) and Renderosity (www.renderosity.com). What's really nice is the price. A lot of other 3D programs cost an arm and a leg. Not this one. The program also works well with other 3D programs, including Bryce, and Lightwave. So if you've ever wanted to create your own 3D characters, this is the way to go.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Program, February 22, 2003
This review is from: Poser 4 Full and Poser Pro Pack (CD-ROM)
Poser 4 is a wonderful tool, allowing you to create 3D graphics featuring various types of figures. Combined w/Photoshop, it's a great tool to create beautiful pieces of artwork. I honestly love it. If you're looking to reach a new level in digital art, I highly recommend Poser. It is also capable of animation.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sweet!!, February 18, 2003

Zach McGregor (Frisco, Colorado USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Poser 4 Full and Poser Pro Pack (CD-ROM)
I got this program not to long ago. It's pretty sweet. I haven't used 3-D programs much, but this one is easy to use. Just by playing around I figured most things out. It's a fun program and a good 3-D program. It was cool
