Attached Link: Miki Movie

Check it out in Content Paradise, or click on the link below. Miki's a real paradox; a model with rather inferior body architecture (see the earlier thread on bugs in the construction of her hands) but possibly the most expressive and appealing face of any Poser character. Just try getting the results that the movie-makers did; I think it would require a masters degree in Poser (for that matter, I wonder if they rendered the movie in Shade or something.) Anyways, this is a real thrill for long-time Poser users, and represents something to shoot for in your own work.

This Movie rendered by 3dsmax. 3dsmax4.2 Brazilr/s 1.2.21 ShagHair 1.0.16 So 3dsmax, a Brazil render engine, and shaghair dynamic hair. not a lot of poser in there. nice though.

The face looks pretty good, like a real girl. And they very adeptly avoided having to deal with any glitches in the hands, elbows, shoulders, knees, hips, etc. But you'd need a Ph.D. in Poser to fix all that stuff.

"This Movie rendered by 3dsmax. 3dsmax4.2 Brazilr/s 1.2.21 ShagHair 1.0.16" That's Shag:Hair? I wonder why they didn't bother to run a dynamics calc with it? Shag does a very nice job with hair dynamics. Anyway, really cool movie clip, and good facial animation. Miki's face definitely deforms better than V3 in the smile department. Although, it would have been much cooler to see a version rendered with Poser 6's new light and material features. That mystifies me why they wouldn't do that, being it's an advertisement for Miki and P6. hehe. ;-)

If the rumors are true that P6 is 3 years behind the curve, render-wise, then they may have had no choice but to use Max, if only to save alot of time and head-aches.

Also Elle and Neftis's new character have the best facial expressions IMO

"If the rumors are true that P6 is 3 years behind the curve, render-wise, then they may have had no choice but to use Max" Well, it's a relatively short clip. I'm sure Poser could have handled it just fine, even without network rendering, on a decent box. I've rendered much longer animations with Firefly/P6 in acceptable time. The quality of the 3ds/Brazil renderer is superb though (I've used it myself), and it's definitely faster than Firefly when it comes to raytracing and shadow map creation. So hey, if EF doesn't care, then neither do I. ;-P

This was done in P5 awhile back. People would be suprised what Poser can do !

Agreed, SuperCGPro.

Very, very nice animation. Too bad they didn't use Poser 6 for rendering. It would be nice to see what a team of pros could do with it.
