Poser is a 3D graphics software tool for creating art and animation with 3D characters which are pre-rigged, fully-textured, posable animation-ready and with easy to use powerful lighting and rendering tools. Poser Pro is used by studios and hobbyists for creating 2d and 3D art, such as illustration, animation, comics, web, print, education, medical, games, pre-vis, storyboarding, and more.
Poser vs DAZ3D / DAZ Studio
Poser is considered a better software than the free download of Daz Studio, because they have multiple tools not available in Daz Studio. For instance, the Morphing Tool, a variety of rendering engine options to make your scene and/or 3D model look like a drawing, a painting or for comic book art. Poser also comes with a photo-realistic renderer, features for fitting 3D clothes onto different models and the ability to animate dynamic 3D garments for motion film (best for hobbyists and pre-viz).
DAZ also can handle higher polygon counts, so it can manage Genesis 3 while Poser does not fair as well, though the new Poser version may change this.
While DAZ 3D / DAZ Studio is free to download and use, it only comes with basic miserable assets and you’ll need to buy everything from morphs, models, hair, accessories, and clothing – per each model and then buy it all over again, if you use newer Genesis models, as they come out. Poser costs but you get 5GB of assets. Most their Avatars are not as nice looking as the DAZ 3D ones and also Poser users end up needing to buy poses and assets for the models they use.
How to Make Clothes for Poser
If you are a SmithMicro Poser user, having the capacity to fashion your distinctive 3D dynamic outfits for your 3D models (whether you use the provided Poser Models or other models you bring into the Poser software) is literally going to enable you to enjoy a wider variety and of course – have the clothing you need, even if it is not available in the 3D marketplaces like DAZ and Renderosity.
Any CG artist using Poser who wants persuasive lifelike creases, folds and wrinkles, will need to use Photoshop or ZBrush and SubstancePainter to sculpt and paint in all the missing detail. This involves a ton of time and talent. It is without a doubt a downright loss of your time!
With Marvelous Designer, you can dress your posed character (which you pose and bring in from Poser 11 to MD6), drape your Marvelous Designer clothing items onto the desired Avatar’s pose and then export into Poser software application for final render or to the Marmoset Toolbag render engine for rendering.
Here are some important points for Poser users to consider:
- Using Marvelous Designer you’ll save lots of time otherwise wasted on hunting for clothes online and getting disappointed when a garment is available for only a certain pose or 3D model and not for what you need.
- The items of Clothing for Poser models are confirming clothes, plus they are terribly lacking in capability to match to your chosen Avatar’s posture in a genuine manner.
- Often confirming clothes look like plastic, especially when they stretch to match a pose they were not created for with morphs.
- Poser Dynamic Cloth Room enables Poser users to drape dynamic Marvelous Designer clothes on models in Poser itself, but it is still far better results and faster to do so in MD6 than in Poser Pro 11.
- You can not add wind to blow confirming clothing and they will never drape naturally.
