I was in the best buy earlier today and I ended up walking around in the music section, which I rarely do.  Anyways as I was wandering around and one of the CDs, after seeing the art I was like "hey, I know that character and that outfit." 

This is sort of a first for me.  Has anyone been out and about and noticed some art with Viki or one of the other poser characters before?

Don't ask me the name of the CD or the group because I've totally forgotten.

Ha! no i have never seen any poser stuff in adverts here, but that's nepal, where the equal to Best Buy is Samir's Cheap Chinese Imports (with a whopping 1000sqft. of floor space).

The only place i have ever seen poser content used commercially is on porn sites, not that I go there much. ha!

coocoo

I've seen plenty on the TV locally! In the past six or eight months, it's gone from none, to maybe once or twice a day!  Holy crap, I'm sick of Jessi in T-pose being shown as a murder victim. :laugh:  Time for Vicky to get some 'murder-time' too. LOLOLOL Or health person, or Simon selling carpets. Or whatever next.

The ads on Telemundo are extremely Poser-heavy.  The best is a male figure,
I think Don-based, wearing a super-hero costume.  His superpower is the
ability to relieve toenail fungus.  Have no fear, Hongo-Man is here!

One local tv studio in my part of the world, uses the Poser 6 people for their print advertising of their special broadcasting-related events - the instantly-recognisable James and Jessie typically appear in the Chinese-language newspapers.

there used to be 'poser-addiction' threads here , where people would start to 're-engineer' (mentally, of course) hair styles ("if I lengthened the front bangs but a quarter dial-turn"), or clothes ("that woman is wearing x's dress textures for the y dress"), of real people, etc...;)

Yes I live in Orlando and we have had some extremely bad car commercials and some selling bedding Most of them are really bad.. Because they don't take the time, or do not know how to light and render it proberly..LOL

Posette stars on the self service tills at Asda, Steve

At the Home Depot or Walmart, (can't remember which), stores here the self service checkout uses Posette to show you how to work the system.

It'll be Walmart Marque, Asda in the UK is owned by Walmart.........Steve

I remember Eurosport used V3 (I think) a couple of years ago when they were doing some promos for the Winter Olympics in Turin. Recognisable by the noodle shoulders lol

BBC News sometimes uses the Poser figures for crime/accident re-enactments, I've seen them in the papers too, the sun has been running a daily cartoon called The Premier heavily using Poser figures for at least 2 years.

I remember walking into an independent record store a few years, and seeing a big, melancholy-looking Aiko staring back at me from the cover of a CD by "....And They Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead".  It was kind of neat.  Heck, I even recognized the character (by Thorne and Sarsa) they used :) 

Anyone remember that Iron Maiden album cover from a few years ago? hahahahaha

Ah Dance of Death.  Yup!  LOL, my dad has that one :P  It's even got the creepy baby on the cover, IIRC. 

My daughter told me this morning they have it in the Home Depot too. What a kick...lol

Animal Planet tv channel has this old show, "The  most xtreme" where they used P4 Male aka poser dork all the time.

Actually, I think its P3 Man, watch at 4:40

the commercial for that video game about mirrors looks pretty poserish.  i can't wait till games get that kinda detail.  whoo ee!

I saw M3 wearing Uzilites MOS Invasion outfit on a number of powerpoint presentations by a US Army Program Management Office. (I won't name the PM).

im sure the english newspaper 'THE SUN' uses poser4 for there comic strip 'striker' even though thier site says they use maya, i have even recognised some of the old poser4 stuff from old sites still being used in it, so every day i read the paper, its makes me glad i went to poser7

dorkmcgork, do you mean mirror's edge?

Seems like there are a number of companies that use poser to create art...

 Check out this PR Companies Site...

Oh geesh that mortgage ad that was all over the internet always used them, including the Millenium Cat.

I saw a game on Verizons games on demand site the other day that uses the Toon baby.  A furniture store in Richmond used to use the Toon dragon dancing across the screen

The last dinner theatre show my husband and I attended had the old DAZ ghost used in an print ad in the playbill for a carbon monoxide detection company.

I've also seen  them worked over nicely on both tangible and of course ebook covers.  Cell phone screen savers/desktops.

And wasn't it the GEForce cards that had the toon Alien on the boxes?

Oh and custom tower boxes too.

There's been even more over the years.

Syn, that was the album I saw in best buy.

Kerasotes theatres have V3 in a white fairy lookin dress and wings at the beginning of every movie they play here now.

The Self Check Out is in several stores (I think they all use the same companies software...) Kroger here and a local chain both use the same as Home Depot Self Check Out. I first saw the Walmart one when I was on Vacation in Floridia, but I do not think that is the same as the Home Depot one, or it did not catch my eye.  We have a Mattress Ad that uses Poser Don and there is a Local Foot Doctor that uses Poser Dork.

The funniest one to me was a Site promoting their Graphics Art services that used Judy. When I contacted them to confirm, they first said it was a custom figure created in house by a team of their artists with Maya. The next day they removed the image. I guess the Team came clean!

I have also seen several Magazine Covers and Articles along with many things on several Cable channels. Science Magazines seem to use Poser Don and James a lot. News Magazines use them also (also it seems some ads for Health issues in Magazines use Poser figures.)

I think my favorite so far was when ATI used the Aiko Bot on the cover of one of their video cards...and, meanwhile, I think the Aiko was used in a campaign around the same time for NVidia (IIRC, it was an image by Kromekat?)   

yeah i think it's mirror's edge
shows what they allude to be ingame screen of a character shooting a helicopter or something, but of course we all know how ingame graphics never match the promo

look at those lovely WOW promos after all.  i still find those inspiring.  definitely not poser there though.  and the particles and the hair!  man...
