I wish we could freely scan and post magazine images created with Poser, but I know from when we've tried to do this in this past on the CL website, we've run into image rights issues. So far my list of magazines in the US that have run Poser imagery is Maxim, Golf Digest, National Geographic, Scientific American, Time, Newsweek, numerous daily US newspapers. Here in the US, we also see the occasional product packaging that uses Poser figures. There was a line of squirt guns, and disc golf with Poser 4 figures on the cover. Then of course, there's MTV, Nickelodeon, the Letterman show, NBC, ABC, CBS and even NASA! What's really ironic for me is to see other software/technology products that use Poser figures as an "accurate" example of a digital figure that supposedly is created with their product. For instance, there are several online immersive systems that use Poser art to promote their environments or tools, hinting that inside you'll find figures of this complexity. What I find most rewarding are the uses of Poser in pre-visualization of film projects. It used to be that we would almost never hear about these projects, but with the advent of DVD titles that contain animated storyboards as part of the extra content, we've seen some cool Poser animations. "The fast and the furious" and "Moulin Rouge" are two recent titles that have used Poser for pre-viz and include footage on the DVD. The users that most frquently make us go hmmm...? orders from the White House, from a a lot un-named famous celebrities, and oddly from a former infamous football star/actor/golfer/white chevy blazer driver... Anyway, back to the grind, Steve Cooper Curious Labs
