The Pose Room
The Pose room is the focal point for much of your Poser activity. This is where you add figures and props to your scene and perform your desired posing and animation. This chapter introduces you to the basic Poser interface. The following chapters will describe these interface elements in greater detail, and then will move on to discussing the other rooms in Poser.
The Pose room appears as follows at 1920 x 1080 resolution.
The number of palettes and options that you see in each room depends upon your screen resolution. At higher resolutions, the default workspaces display more palettes, while at lower resolutions you see fewer palettes.

In addition to rooms, much of Poser’s functionality is available by using floating palettes and windows within the rooms themselves. Most Poser rooms (including the Pose room) allow you to customize your Poser workspace by hiding/displaying and relocating controls anywhere you like. You can use UI dots to save up to nine different screen configurations for the entire Poser workspace.
The numbers on the image above identify the controls available in the Pose room:
