Game Character Animation Contest (2015.04).Showcase Your Armor Knight Competition (2019.09).iClone Lip Sync Animation Contest (2021.07).This first animation below was done with Poser Pro 2014 and took three months and the second one shows one of the older DAZ figures being used with the new hair and cloth program: That's about all I wish to say since this is Reallusion's place but, just as there are great Iclone animators, there are also great animators who used Poser. The tools are there for anyone to master but I think the learning curve is probably harder than Iclone's and I think Iclone probably enables users to get results more quickly even if there is a lot of room for improvement as the user learns his/her craft. You can buy and import BVH motions for Poser and I think there are Mocap solutions. But, even so, the features present are pretty good. In another (Poser) forum it was said that no new animation features had appeared in several Poser releases. ![]() Well, I did say that amazing animations had been done in Poser and that I personally appreciated the ease of use of the animation tools. The same could be said to a good number of others who are much more frequent posters than I am. PS I read so many of your posts from the sidelines - your help is much appreciated. I'd recommend it to anyone starting out in 3D. I'm buying into it as much as I can afford and am loving what people are doing with it. This being Reallusion's forum, I want to say nothing negative about Iclone. (Perhaps you could guess that I recently checked out Vue and rejected it for the reasons given. If I ever embark on my Great Work, I'll be hard-pressed whether to go for Iclone or else Carrara with Physics clothing exported from Poser. Personally, I've always wanted to get the best I can both out of Carrara and Iclone and Poser sits somewhere in the middle. The program will turn Poser mesh-based hair into moving, colliding hair also. The difference isn't great but for me it's real enough! The walk designer works well and there is a new, third-party program being written for Poser that will transform normal dynamic clothing into physics-enabled cloth comparable to Marvelous Designer output. Hi Rampa, I really enjoy animating characters in Poser - somehow there is an 'ease of use' in adjusting poses that I don't find in Carrara, or DAZ Studio but which is comparable to Iclone. That new version will have teething problems, for sure, until service packs are released. Perhaps you could pick up a copy of an earlier version than version 11. When alternatives to Iclone are explored, it has to be said that Iclone has a lot going for it! Lastly, it seems that nothing new has been added to Poser's animation tools over the last few releases. Vue's landscapes are probably second to none but it takes a lot of computing power to use, it can get to be very expensive and can only be used with Poser if both (memory intensive) programs are open simultaneously. ![]() ![]() Poser figures can be used within Bryce landscapes for static renders but can be Posed for animation in some versions of Vue. To use Poser, Carrara and DAZ together, it is probably best to stick with the older Generation 4 figures. DAZ's figures are seemingly becoming very difficult to use in Poser (I believe, but stand to be corrected). Now Poser's newest figures don't work well or at all (?) in DAZ Studio. It's possible to spend a lot but prop items bought can be used in Iclone via 3DXchange.Īt one time Poser and DAZ Studio, as well as Carrara could use each others' figures with only a few texture tweaks needed (so I believe). Many people seem to dislike Poser, which I haven't understood - although the free DAZ alternative has many attractive features and generally better figures.īoth DAZ and Poser have huge content markets catering to every genre. there is a whole world of Poser terminology relating to file-types for poses and so on and also for the composition of the characters. Just as in Iclone you need to know about imotions, iprops, etc. I can't speak for Poser 11 but the versions I bought came with an excellent manual, tutorials within the program itself, a quick-start guide and there are tons of tutorials online. I recently bought Poser 2014 - the Pro version because Poser 10 was 32-bit but I'm too new with it to wish to move to Poser 11 just yet. I like Poser very much, though I'm still pretty much a beginner with it. Now, there is much, much more to Poser than the above but it isn't primarily an animation program - even though some absolutely wonderful animations have been created with it. You can change a character's proportions using sliders in Character Creator.Įssentially these manipulations of characters are what Poser was designed for - as well as adding clothing, hair and prop items before rendering them in a scene. You can bring a character into an Iclone project and choose 'Edit Motion Layer' to pose it.
