I remember when Poser 3 came out and everyone was all upset about the new interface, so whoever owned it back then put in a command that would allow you to default to the old one.
I started with the original. Used it a few times and put it away because it was such a toy.

Toyed with the Pro Pack Demo a couple of times, decided I liked it, then decided to wait a month until Poser 5 came out.
After that, I was hooked.

I started with Poser 5. Now I use Poser 6.

Poser 4, a gift from one of my brothers. Then moved up to ProPack Enhanched, P5 ( another gift), P6 and last, P7 and no plans to go to Pro what with lack of funds. Digital art has become the only media of creating pictures I am able to do much. I miss doing my pencil sketches and, sometimes I did oil on canvas. Now my hands go into cramps if I hold a pencil or brush for more than a few minute. I've tried Daz Studio but still can't do as much with it as with Poser (my fault).
Let me introduce you to my multiple personalities. :)

OMG .. the stuff you could get for free. Wow .. a lot of the good sites became membership only sites after they realized "hey we can make money" ...
can I use the term the "olden days" yet? LOL
Just enjoying the Vue.

Y'know, I have (now) 256 CDs of Poser content, some I've made, some I've bought, but most from freebies. And I've noticed that the number (and quality) of the freebies has declined over the years as well. In the day, I could find enough freebies to fill an entire CD in about four or five days time, so I learned to be judicious in what I downloaded. Now? Very different story...

256? dang..and I thought I was excessive with 'only' 174 (of course, the last 3 are DVDs...;)
Started with 4, then got the same P3 that the original poster had (free...grrr...;), then Poser 5 came out for free...and that's where I stand...;)

thanks DR Geep, i did wonder when vicky came around. seems i had poser 3 then poser pro, both free from 3Dworld mag, and its that mag that got me started in CGI with strata3d and poser.
Before that i was using a prog called spazz 3d to make vrml objects for cybertown and its from that program that all of my intrest in making stuff came around,
3Dworld also gave a free copy of some bryce program (realy old n basic) and with using poser my CG started to take over from free hand drawing and painting.
so my real history would be:
Spazz3d. strata 3d, poser3, bryce?, poser pro..... and eventualy poser 7 , vue and studio max
I'm curious to try using poser 1 or 2 but I've been so spoiled by 7 it drives me nuts when I have to use 5. Which floppies did p1 come on? 3.5 or 5.25? And how many?

I started with Poser 1, I used it together with Ray-Dream, but never did anything serious with it, but at it's time it was amazing (and still is). It came on 3.5 disks, but I don't recall on how many. I started game design in 1995 and that is why I was interested in Poser, but for that purpose it wasn't really usable. I skipped version 2, but Poser 3 was the first Poser I started to use seriously. My first commercial game Commander Josh, had a lot of it's characters done, posed, animated and rendered in Poser 3. Then I did get 4, 5, 6, skipped 7 and now got Poser Pro.

There were two disks and no serial number. IIRC, they gave it away.

I started with Poser 3. Upgraded to Poser 4 within a few months. I have every version of Poser since then.

So since you all have been using it since p1 and in the mid 90s and i started with p6 and started about 3 years ago am I still a newbie?

I started with 7... (checks gallery) and as of wensday I'll have been putting things up here at renderosity for one year.

(using Poser Pro 2014 SR3, on 64 bit Win 7, poser units are inches.)
I had several Action Man (men?)
I started with Poser 4, back around 1999 (OMG that's 10 years this year) - Actually I started with Bryce 4 and wanted to put people in my sci-fi landscapes. And so Poser 4 was the natural choise.
Then I upgraded to Pro Pack - WOOT! PNG thumbnails and no more .bum files!
Then Poser 5 - WOOT! Raytracing. AT LAST! (to be honest it took me a good while to accept Poser 4's renders AS renders, since I was used to Bryce's raytraces... I considered Poser 4's "render" as more of a preview for a long time)
Poser 6 - WOOT! Stability! AT LAST! And Point Lights - something I'd envied DS for. And a female that wasn't butt ugly, too.
Poser 7 - WOOT! SPEED - and HDRI! and some GOOD looking guys ^_^
And that's whereI stand. I'm contemplating getting Poser Pro ever since BagginsBill told me about the improved lights there... Need some more funds first though.

You just can't put the words "Poserites" and "happy" in the same sentence - didn't you know that? LaurieA
Using Poser since 2002. Currently at Version 11.1 - Win 10.
I started with Poser 1 - I read about it in a British computer magazine, and I remember calling Kai's Fractal Designs every month for a year before it came out, as they missed one release deadline after another before they would finally accept my phone order for "that 3D Manequin program" .
I still have a copy of every version 1 thru 7 installed on my G drive except Ver2 & ProPack (lost the disks in an emergency move due to a flood)
I started with Poser 6 but spent all my time trying to figure out how to use the dam thing. The biggest problem i had was figuring how to sort my runtimes out and that. But after afew months reading online tuts, it soon became easy. I now have poser7 and like it loads, but still feel i have got alot to learn.
best regards,
Bopper.
-How can you improve things when you don't make mistakes?
I started with Poser 4 in August, 1999, but really didn't get the hang of it until Poser 5 came out in 2002. I started using it because I still fancied myself to be an artist of some sort, at the time, having grown up with people telling me I was one because I had a basic talent (although limited skill) for drawing. Hmm. Now I recognize that I'm no artist. I spend most of my time with Poser tinkering and building, rarely making images beyond basic test renders. That and cursing a lot, mainly at the joint handling. Hoo boy. Oddly, Poser's joints didn't bother me when I was more interested in using it for making images. Hmm.
The P4 days were good times, IMO. It's a different world, now. Not necessarily better or worse, just very different.

Cage can be an opinionated jerk who posts without thinking. He apologizes for this. He's honestly not trying to be a turkeyhead.
Cage had some freebies, compatible with Poser 11 and below. His Python scripts were saved at archive.org, along with the rest of the Morphography site, where they were hosted.
Poser 4 was the first for me. I loved it so much that I upgraded to the Pro Pack version as soon as I could. The most exciting thing about Poser 5 (after about the last update when it would finally run well on my PC) was the folder structure. I remember in Poser 4 turning matpose files into Camera files or Face files just to fit in all the bounty I accumulated over the years. LOL What a nightmare it was to find stuff. :)
I started with poser 3 I believe when I had the time and a computer, But the output wasn't fitting the on the chips. So I took some college chip development put a lot of money in 3d chips and in past 3 years I have redevelped using the software for better handling and photo quality output. Now there is A pro version and it's a big miljoen dollar industrie.

After seeing 3-D art in several websites I decided to try to find out how it was made. One
of the programs talked about was something called Poser. So I looked in Amazon.com
to see if they had it. They had something called Poser 5 and it seemed fairly cheap,
around $150, so I decided to buy it. I was pleasantly surprised when I found out
it could also do animations as well as just still images. Later on I bought Poser 6.
Skipped Poser 7 and am now using Poser Pro Basic.
I actually started with DAZ Studio....wanted Poser, but couldn't afford it. Then when CP was giving ver. 5 away, I snapped it up! Let it sit for quite a while before getting up the courage to learn how to use it; haven't looked back since! Skipped ver. 6, then up graded to 7. I still like Studio, but can't get it to run on my new pc. P7 has no problems at all with it, so I'm not complaining at all! :D
I started with Poser 2 and upgraded ever since Poser Pro. Even though I use 3D MAX and MAYA, I still come back to Poser for those quick images. Poser seems to work best for our website comics. Can anyone tell me if Larry Weinberg will be making the next generation of Poser? Long time Renderosity member as well.
I am new at this. I have yet to get poser. I am attempting to figure out if I really need/want it. I really like the textures which Poser 5 is required; however, I do not think I will ever need the bulk of Poser, just certain textures. Is the a way to use the textures without having to buy a program I will not use?
I started with Poser 2, and I made exactly one picture with it. I spent two weeks making it, and I decided the end result was stupid, so I got rid of it. Later I got Poser 4, and played, but didn't do much. Got Poser 5 and really started making things after that. I've got Poser 7, but I've recently started playing with Carrara, and I'm finding all kinds of interesting uses for all the Poser content I've got (including a Zygote CD I got waaaaaaay back when).
One or two, I don't remember. It was in the mid 90's. But, I never really used it much, or 'got into it' untill P5.
I got Poser and Bryce about the same time, and Bryce caught my attenton more then Poser way back.

I started posering with a free copy of poser3(i think) from the 3Dworld mag then got poserpro, poser 4, poser 5 and finaly poser 7 (missed poser6 as poser 5 worked fine for me).
but what was poser and poser2 like?
Has anyone here ever used them and what poser program did you start with?
