Attached Link: Manga Studio For Poser Users!

Hi,

Poser users can render comic style characters & create backgrounds but Poser does not allow you to create a whole comic book with panels and the effects associated with the creation and publication of manga. This is what Manga Studio does - with it, You can create Manga & Comics from Start to Finish!

Manga Studio allows you to do is create manga or comic characters in a 2D plane by either importing images from Poser (and 3D OBJs in the EX version) or other apps, scanning in images or sketching in your own characters. You would then apply tones and create or import background images to get the full effect of a scene!

The advantage for a Poser user is that you can import tons of poses for any of your characters into Manga Studio a JPG's or BMP's, and should you wish, you can sketch over them or add visual pieces such as hair or clothes and create a full comic book/story board with your character.

Now the differences between Manga Studio Debut & Manga Studio EX to a Poser or Shade Owner is the following:

Debut
-import JPGs & BMPs from Poser/Shade
-export into layered PSD's
-create full scale comics
-add screen tones (like adding color) includes over 1800 tones
-add concentration and focus lines
-add special effects
-great tool to get started out with in creating manga & comics
-only $49.99

EX
-firstly, as a Poser/Shade Owner you get -$100 off the $299.99 price - so it's only $199.99
-import JPGs, BMPs, PNGs, TGAs, layered PSD's
-import 2D photos such as photo images or Poser/Shade exported images and turned them into lines & tones
-import 3D Shade files using the Shade Exporter (you can import anything cars, backgrounds, buildings, figures etc...)
-import 3D OBJ from Poser by converting PZ3 to OBJ
-create full scale comics
-add screen tones (like adding color) includes over 3000 tones
-professional tool designed for production
