Hi everybody, we at dMk are currently preparing a suite of emotional tools for Poser (and other apps). We are now in the stage of packing it up - which one first ? If you have any questions or suggestions contact Chris at dMk.

All packages are
somehow revolutionary for posing your figures - its easy with them to get
a maximum of emotional expression. The catwalk package even
has soft tissue dynamics and works well in P5 with dynamic clothing. All mocaps
are made with a professional high res equipment - no jitter ar all. See the
following posts.

Enjoy the movies

**CatWalks** On stage !!! Three professional high resolution BVH catwalks, adjusted for high-heel walking. For P4, V2, V3. Bonus are soft tissue dynamics with the respective morph targets.

Example movie (needs Apple Quicktime)

**NaturalPostures**

40 female and 40 male natural standing postures from real people. Special bonus
are six postures which are the result of a pricipal component analysis of the
postures. The results have been scientifically verfied, so this can be used
also for the creation of experimental stimuli. These postures express irritation,
happy, social confidence, aversion and openness. In addition there are 16 bonus
single descriptors reaching from proud to attractive. The single postures can
be mixed with sliders from a python script. This gives virtually endless possibilities
for creating and mixing postures with a single mouse click. A python script
is included which renames the dials.

**FlirtFever**

32 professional high resolution BVH motions for P4 and V3. Include waving,
head tilts, "is it me ?" etc. All BVHs end in the same start and
end position which can be attached to four idle "do nothing" loops.
This makes it possible to add behaviors to a behavior string.

Ideal for virtual presenters.

Example movies (need Apple Quicktime)

**NaturalEmotions**

The implementation of all facial muscles as morphtargets for V2 and V3. Over
140 targets include left and right asymmetries. All muscles can be moved
seperately. The packet also has over 200 preset basic emotions in six major
prototype classes: Anger, Fear, Surprise, Disgust, Happy and Sad. With this
package you can construct virtually any facial expression possible. Special
bonus is a python script with preset emotion prototypes that can be simply
mixed with sliders in a continous fashion. Now you can use the standards
from emotion research in your own work. This also can be used for the creation
of experimental static and dynamic stimuli in emotion research.

I would like them all. They look very good. My personal preference would be the natural emotions first and the catwalk as a very close second.

Well, you could do one motion and one static :) The catwalk and natural emotions I'd like them all also
