This thread is started in response to a request by Katherine from Curious Labs.

Please use this thread to list the programs and utilities we regularly use in Poser that were not mentioned in the Poser 6 survey. For instance, the survey mentions Deep Paint and texture waepons, but omitts UV Mapper, and mentions Photoshop and PaintShopPro but omitts CorelDraw.

Do not use this thread as a wishlist for new features, there is another thread for that. Also do not include Python scripts here, there will be another thread for that as well.

My list:

PROGRAMS

UV Mapper
CorelDraw
Correct Reference
P3DO Explorer
Mimic

UTILITIES
Metaball Plugin
PInstall
The Tailor
MAT Pose Editor
Objaction Scaler

FBX format Export - Poser would be a great compliment for Kayara's MotionBuilder.

Well, in my animation work, I frequently also use the following programs: Macromedia Authorware Vegas 4 Acid 4 PowerPoint (stop snickering! lol) Carrara 2 Swish & Flash MX Fireworks MX Poser specific Utilities MAT Pose Edit Easypose PoseRAY De-Triang Mover PHI Builder Mimic And I'd like to see CL rescue Bryce. (oh, hush!)

Corel Photopaint UV Mapper Deep Exploration Polytrans Amorphium 3 Extreme Morph 3D Plant Studio Autogroup Editor Quick Conform -SMT

A LOT of the and one more... Linux (via Win4Lin, but I'd really like to run it natively in Linux instead of through an emulator.) /P

Maxon Bodypaint. Right Hemesphere Deep Paint 3d isn't the only player on the market.

EasyPose Underground PBooost Correct Refference Pro ZPad UV Mapper P3DO Explorer Vue 4 Photoshop Tailor 1.5 MAT Pose Edit PHI Builder (Yes, I still think the PHI approach is way better than the setup room) MetaForm (OK, I don't own that yet, but I anticipate it being very useful) INJection Pose Builder

Morph Manager Grouper Rhino Bryce

Complete MAC-compatible!

FBX support, Poser and Motionbuilder would be an explosive combination.

Cinema 4D & Bodypaint Vue d'esprit Mac OS

P3dO Cinema 4D UV mapper Pro Morph Manager The Tailor Autogroup Editor Z pad PSP 8 Phi Builder Easy Pose Underground Cr2 Editor Vue d'Esprit 4 Objaction mover

Thank you for this additional data and thank you Numanoid for the start of this thread. Kind regards, Katherine

Cinema 4D, Body Paint Carrara 3 Virtual Nature Studio (by 3D Nature - World Construction set with an attitude)

Don't remember what was on the survey so just listing them all. Lightwave Rhino PSP8 MAT Pose Editor UVMapper P3DO - to convert png's to rsr's P-Wizard (obj ripper, package, EasyPose)

UVMapper CR2 Editor Carrara Compose Morph Manager Microsoft Word Illustrator I think that covers all the ones I use that werent already on the list.

I was a Bryce user before I got Poser....so it was Poser and Ray Dream (and MacRock and Mechanisto) into Bryce. For a very short time I tried to work within Poser, importing mostly materials via PhotoShop and UVmapper, and morphs with Amorphium et al. I was outputting animations into sprites for use in Escape Velocity and Coldstone. Now the story is Carrara Studio < -- > Poser, with the pipe into Poser including but not limited to Carrara Studio 3, Amorphium 1.0, UVmapper "Classic," PhotoShop and Graphic Converter, the wonderful freeware MacInstaller, MacConverter, and MacConstructor, and perhaps most useful of all, BBedit Lite.

Bryce (although I'm a bit concerned about product longevity.)
