Curious Labs Poser 5

Curious Labs Poser 5 Review



Whether you're a 3-D novice or an experienced digital artist, Poser 5 makes it extraordinarily easy to create complete 3-D character stills and animations. Yet while this new edition definitely has advantages over previous versions, it is not without its glitches.

Pay attention to the system requirements on install. This program needs room and power. With more than the recommended 256 MB of RAM, rendering seems a bit sluggish in spite of the new FireFly micropolygon-based rendering engine. Though considering all Poser 5 does, immediate rendering of complex 3-D objects might be asking a bit much.

Working in Poser 5 is remarkably simple considering the capabilities of the software. The workspace is clean and easily customizable, with a majority of the tools accessible from floating palettes and windows. A collapsible library palette gives you fast access to all available content such as figures, poses, faces, and expressions. Plus, there is an entire CD of additional content including sound files, props, textures, templates, samples, and demos.

The interface is broken down into different rooms: Pose, Material, Face, Hair, Cloth, Setup, and Content. The new Face Room lets you map any face onto a 3-D head using just front and side photos of someone's face. Use the Hair Room to grow actual 3-D hair for figures in just a few steps. Go to the Cloth Room and convert objects into fully dynamic cloth with complete control of behavior. A full, revised reference manual is included.

So many things are under your control, it's hard not to want to tweak every little detail. However, on more than one occasion making an adjustment caused the software to lock up and quit. At other times, it would complete the changes, but the document window would be blank, making it necessary to close and reopen the program to continue work.

Instability issues aside, Poser 5 is loaded with fun tools, content, and utilities, making an upgrade worthwhile for serious users. Ease of use makes it a good choice for beginners and hobbyists as well. --Joshua Goldman

  • 100% Follow-Along, Learn-by-Doing, No Lectures, No Reading!
  • Resizable Video Overlay Window, Runs on Top of AutoCAD.
  • Quick Search Feature to Find What Your Looking for in Seconds.
  • Remember What You Learn Longer and Have Fun Learning!
Teacher Inside of AutoCAD is built on the SofTutor Learning System platform, the same system used by over 1,400 companies, schools and government agencies worldwide for the past 15 years to learn AutoCAD faster, get answers to questions faster and remember what they've learned longer.

SofTutor uses a hands-on mentoring approach to training. It's 100% learn-by-doing.

To build a SofTutor product, we take a full 40 hr class similar to Autodesk training or an AutoCAD college class and remove as much of the lecturing as we can. Your time is important to us and we don't want to waste it. We realize that people tend to lose interest in lectures and even fall asleep. We want to keep you busy and focused on learning. As a result our products can teach you more in less time. Then we index SofTutor so you can find what your looking for faster. Sometimes SofTutor will find a video fast forward into the video play what you want to learn then pause. Why waste your time watching stuff that does not apply. Many corporations and government agencies use our corporate licenses for technical support and help desk assistance for their casual users.

Steps to running SofTutor:
1) Run AutoCAD (if you don't have AutoCAD, you can get a free 30 day eval from autodesk.com).
2) Run SofTutor.
3) Open the corresponding example file to the topic you are learning.
4) Play SofTutor and follow-along with the instructor at the same time.

Contains over 5.5 hours of video instruction covering 205 topics and 145 AutoCAD tutorials with corresponding follow along example files.
Designed for version 2012 but can be used AutoCAD LT 2010 - 2011 (2012 features will not be available in earlier versions)
You'll learn AutoCAD LT in less than 20 hours!

Please note the different prices of our products vary between one person to multi-site enterprise license from annual to multi-year licensing.
