Poser includes automatic keyframe creation, non-linear animation, lip-syncing and a walk simulator to simplify the animation process.

Dynamic Hair and Cloth - Dynamic props move with your figure and add realism to your animations. Clothing drapes and deforms just as it should in real-life over a human figure, while hair can be grown, styled and controlled dynamically as if blown by the wind.

Loaded With 3D Content - Poser includes high resolution male and female figures, children, animals, cartoons, robots, and more – over 80 fully textured figure models in all. Hundreds of poses, facial expressions, full body morphs, hair, clothing, light sets and props are also included so you can get started fast.

Multiple Undo and Redo - Return to earlier poses and designs, and step back and forth through up to 100 recent changes within your scene! Poser 7’s 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.

Multi-Threaded Rendering and HDRI Support - 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.

Non-Linear Animation - Use Poser 7’s new 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.

Brush-like Morphing Tools – Poser 7’s new Create tab on the Morphing Tool palette provides powerful interactive controls for creating your own custom morph targets. Easily create custom morphs on your figures just like you would with any brush tool.
