Features:

Complete 3D Figure Design - Create any figure imaginable using Poser’s powerful 3D toolset. Scale and manipulate individual body parts, modify facial expressions, customize ethnicity, add clothing and props, and pose your figures down to the finest detail.

Powerful Rendering Capabilities – Poser’s powerful FireFly render engine delivers high-quality artistic effects for creating extraordinary, professional renders with natural lighting, shadows, reflections and refractions. Customize your final output in many styles, including photorealism, sketch, cartoon, silhouette and more.

Animation Controls – Poser’s animation tools are designed to help you create stunning, realistic animations without much of the repetitive work involved in animating figures. 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.

New in Poser 7:

New Content – Poser 7 comes with over 1GB of high resolution 3D content. Leading the way are Simon and Sydney, the new male and female figures, plus loads of exclusive third party content, new wildlife, new motion capture data, light sets, poses, materials, and lots more.

Lip Syncing - 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.

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.

Universal Poses - Now you can apply any pose to any biped figure within Poser 7, regardless of that figure’s joints or rigging, and see consistent, high quality results!
