Hey, Does anyone think its time for Poser to change its name to something alittle more cooler. Here's one for starters 3dPose3d, PowerPose, 3dgod, Figure, or just 3 & etc...

I doubt the name will change for version 6. However, if Curious Labs does decide to take the program to the next level and offer some serious animators a better workflow and toolset, then I have said in the past that it would probably be in their best interst to make multiple user-levels and price tags on any particular release. IE., Version 7 Pro, Version 7 Artist. One would be a more powerful version and have a higher pricetag. That said, I believe their best bet at selling the higher end version to professionals would be if they rename the software for that particular demographic. The name "Poser" has an ugly stigma in 3D communities outside of this one, and a fresh start would definitely help sell the program to a wider customer base.

Well, let's see... It's a 3D application, it simulates a photographic/movie studio and it will probably maximise the number of features available. Hmm, nah, it'd be a silly name. ;) How about, "This One Works Out Of The Box, Honest" ?

The should definitely drop the support for OS's that have proved too weak to manage Poser 5. Develop to just suppot 2000 & XP.

Or, following Photoshop, they could drop the number completely. How about "Poser Artist SE" (for "Sixth Edition"). --John

I don't know about the name, although I'm tempted to adopt Sam's, but I think I got the promoting slogan. How about... "The program that will never crash!!! Except if you run it on a computer."

Since we can be dead certain that Poser 6 will move even farther from animation, favoring still-lifes even more strongly, I think a good name would be Repose.

how about "bend me shape me anyway you want me"

"The program that will never crash!!! Except if you run it on a computer." or drop it. :D

Better not give them any ideas on changing the name. They are going to be busy enough screwing everything else up.

" Since we can be dead certain that Poser 6 will move even farther from animation, favoring still-lifes even more strongly, I think a good name would be Repose." If that's the case, then they should name it "The Software That Never Was". Why incorporate such things as dynamic hair and cloth and not strengthen the animation functionality of the software? Perhaps not in Version 6, but future versions should definitely progress to the animation market if Curious Labs has any hope of increasing their base revenue and get their software used in a broader and more financially enriched medium. Heck, even Discreet realized there's more to life than just the gamer's market. ;-)

I already call Poser lots of alternative names! I don't think you could print them on a box though!
aleks posted Thu, 22 April 2004 at 3:30 AM
"bugs extreme v6" as a bonus, leather harnish should be in a box along with large collection of anything that can induce a lot of pain. but then again, software is enough.
Treewarden posted Thu, 22 April 2004 at 7:24 AM
I've posted b4 that that !@#$% name should be changed. I don't want to be a "poser" any more. How about CharacterPro? Or Figure/Shade? Or HurricaneLamp? Or, oh well, I'm not a good name creator. I guess they could call it "FigureAddiction". :)
SimonWM posted Thu, 22 April 2004 at 7:35 AM
I'm with you maxxxmodelz. They will certainly miss the boat if they don't strengthen the animation part of the software.

Shadey Figures? Figurama? Humaniform Studio? Naked Vikky In A Temple With A Sword Renderer? Pinup Pro 3D? Shade Studio? ...and so on and so forth. They could spend their entire development budget working on new names for Poser 6 and then cobble together some quick pythong plugins and a few bug fixes for the actual software... Cheers, Cliff

Poser Sux. Whoops, typo. I mean "Poser Six". The "u" key is right next to the "i" key. Could happen to anyone.

How about "Push my buttons" with a picture of a Naked Vicky on the box. That would make the thing fly off of the shelves.

no should stay the same...but I think that the main characters should be changed to Michelle and Victor ;)

I'd call it POSER S_X. Then when you get it and you use it you can fill in the name on the box.
