Poser 8 Professional for Mac

Poser 8 - complete solution for creating animation and art with 3D characters. Poser contains over 2.5 Gb of ready-to-pose human and animal figures, textures, props and 3D scene elements. Be creative, generate new characters from your facial photographs. Add hair, clothing to your character; build complete 3D. Animate and render your scene into photorealistic images and video for film project, web or prints. Export 3D figures to add characters to other 3D apps. Powerful software for artists, hobbyists, illustrators and animators.

Poser 8 features

Eight new figures
New set of eight 3D humans advanced figures included with Poser 8. Built from scratch, the figures are performance optimized for the polygon count and have custom photorealistic textures. Rigged using Poser 8's new multiple sphere and capsule fall off zone technology, problematic joints such as hips and shoulders now bend with more realism than any figure on the market. By using the new Dependent Parameter tool to link deformers to specific joint positions, areas such as knees, elbows, chest and collar joints have smoother folds, less stretching and more realism. The Poser 8 new figures are fully compliant with the Face Room, the Walk Designer and Talk Designer, and via the use of Wardrobe Wizard, much of the included legacy clothing content has been converted to work directly on the figures.

~1.5GB of new Poser 8 Content
In addition to the new set of figures, Poser 8 includes an array of new content, and content created by the Smith Micro team of 3D artists. Fully articulated human skeletons that match the male and female figures body topology are included. Various new poses, animations, light sets, props, and accessories. Poser 8 also includes an additional 1.5GB of legacy Poser 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 content.

New User Interface
Poser 8 offers a new enhanced user interface, preserving the elements that Poser users are accustomed to. The new layout produces a cleaner work environment which help to focus on the project. All controls are presented in floating palettes, they can be docked for consistency, session to session, or floated to free up space.

Dependent Parameters
Poser 8 lets the artist create new Master Parameters or turn any existing Parameter into a Master Parameter that can drive any other editable parameters in the scene. Complex interactions can be created such as Full Body Morphs, Partial Body Morphs, Advanced Body Controls, Joint Controlled Morph Targets, Joint Controlled Deformers and Parameter Controlled Scene Assets.

Indirect Lighting
By bouncing light and color from object to adjacent object in a scene, Poser 8's Global Illumination system can render images so they will appear very realistic.

OpenGL Preview Improvements
Preview now displays up to 8 lights and their accumulated values. The light properties controller allows user to select each light to illuminate in the scene preview.

Cross Body Part Morph Creation
With Poser 8 comes a significant improvement to the current Morphing Tool. Dial in a Morph Brush and paint morphs across body parts. Create effects such as muscle bulges, scales, bumps, horns, veins or wounds.

Enhanced Rigging System
Poser 8 has improved upon the existing joint Falloff Zone rigging system by adding any number of new zones to a joint, while adding a new capsule shape to the existing sphere, and allowing the rigger to either multiply or add the Falloff Zone values. This system will permit figure creators to rig challenging areas such as hips and shoulders with more precision, yielding better bending figures.

Physically Correct Light Falloff
For Spot and Point lights, Poser 8 lets users control falloffs to more closely reproduce real-world light behaviors. Constant falloff replicates the previous Poser behavior, and Inverse Linear and Inverse Square add two new methods for getting light to appear more realistic.

Normal Mapping
Normal Mapping is a resource-efficient technique to add the appearance of complexity and surface detail to 3D objects. It can transform object surfaces, making them appear more intricate than they actually are, without the added overhead of polygonal detail.
