Poser 8 for half price

[reneuend]

I can get Poser 8 for half price ($130), but the problem is that it seems to only do human forms. Anyone out there use Poser that can negate this?

Oh, the reason I can get it for half price is because I bought stuff from SmithMicro in the past. Not sure if it's open to the general public or not.

looks like a nice program but unfortunately I have no experience with it

Poser is primarily for use with prefabricated meshes. You load your meshes, pose them, add textures for them or use procedural textures in the Materials Room, and then render. It will also do animations. It's great for human figures, but -- if you have the meshes--- you can also do landscapes, interiors, etc. A sky dome and the "micro-cosm" meshes are included for that in Poser 8.

I use Poser 8, but some people prefer Daz Studio 3, which is comparable and the basic version of DazStudio is free. If you want to see what can be done with Poser, check out the Galleries sections at Daz3d.com and Renderosity.com.

Poser 8 comes with a lot of included content, but you can download the better Daz 3d figures and other free stuff at the above two sites.

If you have specific questions, I can try to answer them.

I like to use Poser 8 too.

Just FYI, should anyone be interested, DAZ3d is running their annual Platinum Club celebration with lots of sales and freebies. For most of them, this year they are requiring that you join for $30 first.
