How many "I want total photorealism" renders do you see in the galleries? Please Please Please take a look at the Poser galleries here and stop listening solely to the Poser forums. I would, as you suggest, tell SM that they should develop a good low-poly figure line, but one that should be sold outside of the release version. There is no need to "focus" on producing low-poly figures for a Poser release version as included assets, but more available assets for sale in that genre would be nice for many users. Low Poly figs exist and come in every edition of Poser, however. Their rigs are wonky, assets are limited and they're hard to work with. I agree with the first part of your statement, but disagree somewhat with the latter. focus on making very low poly people as background filler. Since Posette and Miki2, all your Poser people have sucked. (Yes, you can force it to do that, but it's not in its default repertoire nor should it be, since it's unsuitable for that.) Instancing serves no/little purpose in Poser as it simply isn't geared up for that sort of thing. BUT, and here's the key, they were good enough to produce small scenes of a few human figures, as long as you were willing to forego decent lighting and dynamic hair. Up until that point, Smith Micro did jack-all with Poser's animation capabilities and they have been basically ignored for a very long while. Development in Poser's animation capabilities has only recently been revitalized, I think, with the introduction of game-dev versions. But, while it can be fairly good, it's more like a tacked-on product. When one works with Poser, it's intent is pretty clear - It does a great job of rendering two or three hi-res human figures in a scene with good lighting.Īnimation is something else that Poser does. Poser's focus is on individual figures, details, hi-resolution renders of organic objects, materials and textures focused on single figures, clothing, etc. It is not a landscape program or a crowd generator, though there are certainly scripts and add-ons out there that will do that with it and it can integrate and work well with Vue and Carrara. Poser was developed as a "posing" program for artists.

Have instancing ability like VUE to dump billions of polygons of content without the software shutting down. Coleman posted at 3:20AM Tue, 08 September 2015.
