Welcome to Poser!

Thank you for purchasing Poser®. If you’ve never used Poser before, welcome! Are you upgrading from an earlier version of Poser? Welcome back!

Poser 13 introduces many new features. The most prominent is our integrations of the Cycles render engine. We call it SuperFly. This brings not only the realism of a physics based renderer but also the speed of GPU support. That means our new render engine can harness the power of your nVIDIA graphics card to speed up renders.

Realism aside, we’ve also added powerful features for comic style renders. We’ve enhanced our already powerful comic book mode with a new Geometric Edge Lines. This gives you a new level of control over the outside “ink” lines of your image.

We’ve also added tools to make posing your scene easier. One of these is the Custom Parameter Palette. This is a persistent palette where you can add parameter dials from any part of your scene. It gives you ready access to frequently used parameters. Our new generation of figures include fully rigged faces. The rigged faces make creating compelling expressions fast and easy. Just point to the part of the face you want to affect and drag the face control to adjust the expression.

Content is critical and we’ve gone to great lengths to make Poser content more flexible, powerful and easy to use. We’ve also add several new tools to make creating content for poser easier. There is a new tool to automatically create Adaptable Rigs, rigs that adjust their proportions to match even the most drastic morphs. We added new rigging symmetry tools. We even included a tool to create distributable morph injections right from the file menu.

As Poser turns 21 you’ll find it has grown into an even more powerful tool. Even with all that power it will remain familiar to past users and easy to learn for those of you stepping into the Poser Universe for the first time. No matter what you use Poser for it is the fast, fun and easy way to bring your art to life.

What will you create?
