Quote - oh... i see, so what's a good program for making clothes and props and modelling in general and still import those things into Poser?

 

Truth told, there's no one program that is used for making stuff for Poser. At Smith Micro, my co-worker uses 3D Studio Max and I use a combination of Modo and Silo for modeling. Other artists here use Wings3D or Blender. Some use Hexagon, some use Carrara. A few may even use Maya or XSI. Ultimately, the important things to consider when chosing a modeling application for Poser content creation are: Can I export out a polygonal OBJ file and how well do I like the interface?

 

Bonus things to look for - the ability to define material zones, UVmap creation/editing tools, and the ability to paint textures directly on the surface of the object. Some apps provide these things alongside the modeler and some you can find in dedicated applications. Creating content for Poser is no small thing, so if you're a new user you may want to get to know Poser first before venturing out into content creation.

 

Hope that helped. Oh! One last thing, try before you buy when it comes to these applications. Don't just jump to an app because XYZ person is using it. What works for one person may be frustrating for another.
