Wow! Some amazing and wonderful art in this thread. Exciting to see what use people are making of this program. Heck, Poser started first as basically a virtual mannequin. Nice to see some people still get use out of it that way. I'd known several tradigital artists doing book covers and box art were using Poser and other 3d renders as some of the layers in their completed digital painting, but using it to work up ideas for, say, leatherwork is wonderfully different. By the by, is that two (other) people I see in the thread already who design for theater? I stopped doing costumes back in college, myself, and Poser is really not much good towards visualizing stage lighting designs! (But I have hopes of getting Carrara to do that someday). On the downside, I have tried to problem-solve a pose in Poser before doing a comic-style drawing. I've found it more frustrating than useful. The figures are too stiff and take too long to pose. I still keep it in the bag of tricks, tho....esp when I'm trying to block out a scene with several figures, unusual camera angles, etc.
