Quote - I don't understand how red vs blue could have been done in Poser.  I thought it came out before Poser got weight mapping (which looks to be in use here).

The original RvB was indeed pre-Poser. When Monty joined the team he transitioned them to Poser, I believe its about five years now. Since that point they may model in other apps, but it's rigged, materials applied, animated and rendered out of Poser.

They can do some cool tricks as a byproduct of their relationship with Microsoft (owners of Bungee and the Halo property) including using direct game assets like charcaters, or doing screen caps of architectural elements which they then texture and place into Poser for the interior and environmental scenes.

Here are some snaps I shot at RTX last summer, during the Monty Oum R vs.B panel. Note the images on the screen are from the Tex S8 fight video I posted above.

note the classic Poser ground plane above :-)

interesting file extensions eh?

I think I recognize those iconic folder tab UI qwidgets. :-)
