I'm working on a redesign of my company's web site, and I was thinking about possibly using Poser figures on it, but don't know if it would look good. I was wondering if anyone knew of any good examples of corporate web sites that has used Poser (or any 3d) figures on it? I'm talking about serious, professional uses, not silly or cheesy uses like mysimon.com (nothing wrong with cheesy, just not the right market for us). Thanks.

I have used Poser figures not only on my web site www.moon-dragon.com but also on other professional corporate sites. We create tasteful, corporate models to represent a company or sell a product. The uzalite collection has a slick corporate look to it. I also did a website for a company that manufactures circuit boards. I used some of their actual circuit boards as texture maps for the Victoria catsuit. They were quite impressed.

I'm using them for a bar site here in Portland. I'd give the link, but its....uh....well, pretty darn adult. We wanted to do something different to set if off from all the other bars if its type around the country. All still images, but it looks pretty good. I'm planning on doing a Microsoft Agent Avatar for the site too, but that has to wait until I get the time to make it, and mimic to make some of the animations easier. Personally, I'm waiting for IBM to start using the Pink Pony as it's mascot.

Unless I'm personally working on them, corporate web sites bore the snot out of me, but I've seen obvious, and even slightly cheesy straight-out-of-the-box, poser renders in a wide variety of magazines - the one that immediately springs to mind is Men's Health. Not all poser renders have to look like they were made by 14 year old boys with hairy palms. So, cautiously... try it. If this is your own company, ask people whose opinions you respect for critiques of mockups. If this is Big Corporate Entity, you probably have to get approval on new designs anyway. Good luck!

Well, my description (or lack thereof) may have been misleading. We're a small graphic design/advertising company so we can be edgy, but we target mostly corporations, so it has to appeal to them. I'd post our present site, but it's a little out of date and in a state of transition (plus, I don't want anyone to think I'm trying to get free publicity).

My advice: If you think it worthwhile, add Poser content to your portfolio and show it to prospective customers. Let the customers decide; after all, it is their purchasing power that will keep any company in business.
