It is a fancy way of saying, the shape of your mouth when saying different letters :)

It's used for lipsync animations, so the characters mouth seems to be moving properly to what is being said.

Word is, they are on their way.  But the package available to us now, doesn't have any phonemes in it.

And yes, I was just as surprised.

The thinking on deletion is the undos.

It has to remove each undo from memory when you delete a figure.  That is why reducing the number of undos helps speed up some processes.

V4 will be added as soon as we can :)

We're working on Miki and Koji 1 morphs as I type, so we can add those to the list.  The morphs will be included in the package once we have the finished.

We also have a few more characters going in, and some tweaks coming.  Maybe before x-mas, but if not, right after.

 - Noel

As far as I can tell it is a true hyperthreaded application now.  Not just for dual core.

 - Noel  

Yes, Poser 7 supports up to 4 render threads at a time now.  In the general preferences section.

I was able to update the zip file earlier than expected!  You can now re-download the product with all the additional characters!

Enjoy!

Poser comes with Talk Designer, a new module for doing Talk Animation with Poser figures.

You need support files, for Talk Designer to be able to work with the different models, such as Victoria 3.  Many of the characters out, are not included in the basic Poser 7 purchase.

We're selling an expansion kit, that includes these support files, so you can use characters like Victoria 3, Freak, Furrette etc in Poser 7's Talk Designer.

Just remember us when you do get your copy :)

I think you are confusing beta testers for Quality Assurance personal.

Beta testers are there to help cover all the testing, where as the QA personal would be the ones that have guidelines on what and how to test.

As a beta tester, we do try to cover as many of the new features as we possibly can, but we are also not paid, and have time limits of our own to work within.  Our main purpose is to test the software on as many different setups and platforms as possible, not to catch every possible issue in the program.

No problem.  The entire website I mentioned has lots of good little tutorials for those times you need a certain special effect :)

 - Noel

There is also a very easy to do tutorial on this effect here:

Poser uses Tweening and Keyframing.

I would suggest downloading the demo from e frontier's website and give it a shot.  Just know that Poser 7 is just around the corner, and it does have some animation upgrades to it.

But the Poser 6 demo would give you a good idea of the capabilities.
