I am ready for a new Poser Artist type thing :)

Poser with just the Pose Room and Materials Room (and Face Room) only maybe. A stripped down Poser LE. Something for noobs and or people wanting to par down for the sake of productivity. IRC Poser Artist was too stripped down in that the expression dials were hidden but aside from that... would love a lean mean Poser that ran fast and light.

I am seriously gonna go back to Poser 6 with just my Reduced Resolution figures to see if I can start getting more done and spending less time tweaking shaders and lights and render settings.

An awesome thing would be a Realtime Poser for noobs and animators... a maxed out Preview render even if it meant say a restriction to three lights. I guess you would need a render for shadows and AO unless that can be faked some how. On my iTouch I have a couple cool little figure posing apps based on something between Second Life and a video game. Proof of concept mainly... but you can just pose up in real time and capture from the preview... they have basic physics and motion too. Have even composited multiple figures by importing as background. I have seen some new Video games that I would use as an alternative to Poser if I had a game console. Some new thing like GTA. It was called ITC or something... saw a youtube promo... allows great figure customization.

Be nice to get back to Poser as a composition tool for digital or real drawing/painting as opposed to a wannabe MAX high end render engine. I used to do a lot of well paid work c. 1999 painting over Poser Previews in Photoshop for commercial gigs... man, it was a fast way to get things done... now a scene takes so very long :)
