Poser 6 is sufficiently inproved over previous versions to deserve being called a new version. Just grabbing with a mouse cursor might seem intuitive to you, but what on earth is that meant to mean in 3D? The figure manipulation is difficult, but this is due to the huge precision afforded in the posing. At least they're offering to the mac market, and have supported it with every version at least since 2. Yes, the directory structure isn't very mac-like, but it's legacy. I think it's a great program, and whilst expensive for me, much cheaper than other programs that create similar quality of image. I have Poser 6 installed after purchasing the pre-release offer. Poser is just too complex for those seeking instant gratification. If you want a quick study in 3D that takes care of itself, look elsewhere.

It's great piece of software if you want to take the time to learn it and set it up correctly. With 7.0 out, it is UB and takes advantage of multi-core processing.

Plus it's directly compatible with Vue if a more powerful rendering engine is needed (lighting, 3D geometry, etc). I see people complaining about using it in manners that aren't the correct way to use it. Most of the negative responses I see here are no doubt by people who expected to learn the process overnight. The community is a very sharing one, and there is lots of free stuff to be had. There are hundreds of gigs of content available online, and the commercial grade content is considerably less expensive than top-tier, and in many cases better.

But the software is very powerful, despite being held back by PC compatibility. It's not easy to learn, taking years of dedicated study to master. Thanks to e-frontier for continuing to make a mac version, but this is one program that's due for a MAJOR overhaul or complete rewrite.

It feels as though the core program has aged and introduced hacks as a means of low-budget feature evolution. It was designed from the ground up to be a simple application, and this is no longer in it's favour. Though, the more serious you become with it, the more you'll realize it's limitations. While definitely sporting an unconventional/proprietary UI is of much debate, i found it easy to use. There are legions of fans, and I for one atribute this to the programs relative ease of use. The content community however, for clothes, characters etc. You'll shake your head in disbelief and spend countless hours reorganizing folders. (DAZ, Renderosity) Expect countless folders with names beginning with !!! because content developers are fighting for dominance within your installation.
#Poser pro osx install#
The library's format and structure is ancient and is a serious PIA when you begin to install third party content. Loading certain figures can take over a minute. Its knees buckle and its spine has grotesquely ruptured discs.įirst thing you'll notice is that it's slow. Features have been packed onto a legacy core. Since then, the program has switched many hands (fractal, metacreations, efrontier) Not really good (of course) and ever iteration has added more lumpy sacks of coal for a mule that was never designed for this. I've also been a user since 1.0 when it was first created as a drawing aid.
