Yep, had the email here too. Good pre-order offers on Pro 2012 as well...

Frame Selected Object
In complex scenes it can be a little challenging to keep your camera focused on an area that you’re working on using Poser’s original camera controls. To help out, we’ve introduced the Frame Selected Object Camera. With the click of a button, your current camera will zoom in on the selected object, allowing you take a closer look at exactly where you’re working on. This makes it easier to navigate in and out of your deep scenes and saves you time when creating them.

Orbit Selected Object Mode
Poser also includes a new mode as a companion feature to the new Frame Selected Object Camera. Simply toggle on the Orbit Selected mode and your current camera will rotate around the center point of the currently selected object. This makes it easier to focus on a selected element, and view it from every direction by spinning Camera trackball controls.

 

 

O.... M.... G.....

 THANK YOU, It's about time!!!  This will make posing, animation and even scene set-up sooooo much easier.

So, if you get Poser 9 instead of Poser Pro 2012, is it still 32-bit instead of 64?

Yay! More Poser goodness!

Just out of curiosity for those who have it now...  How much does 64 bit rendering help things?  ie: tons faster, tiny bit faster, much bigger scenes, etc?

I'm going to probably move from Poser 8 to Poser Pro 2012, but I'd rather just go to Poser 9.

64bit rendering I think means more that you have more colourspace (2^64 colours vs 2^24 colours). As in hdr and exr images.

the pre-release pricing is GREAT !!!!

I've been waiting for bug fixes to be applied before I make the plunge, expecially since P5 fiasco, but I just might jump on 9 for $80. The 2012 pricing is good too from Poser 8...
Double the fun for double the price. I'm still on a 32bit system, but need to upgrade very soon, probably within the next 3 months, so it would probably be advantageous for me to go Pro.

Does pro take advantage of quad and above systems, or does it just use single core ?

Weight mapping LONG overdue, but nice addition with hybrid implementation (zones+maps).

Straight from the site.."With Pro 2012’s new Weight Map Auto Transfer, you’ll be able to move existing Weight Map Rigs onto any new figure". Sounds Interesting.

Finally, True SSS.  I wonder if there are any other big additions to the material room.

No, 64 bit means a lot more than that. Running a 64 bit program (and you need a 64 bit OS) gives you access to a lot more memory and greater speeds. I run 24GB on my home machine, which means vastly decreased render times.

Quote - Nice. Especially the drag n drop auto conform and scene category.

You can already drag and drop autoconform clothes in Poser 8, but maybe you're talking about something else?

Didn't get the email but did see the Facebook announcement.

Quote -  Now, if only SOMEONE at SM would take Blackhearted's idea about poser reading files straight from the ZIPs, making content management orders of magnitude easier.

For that to work you need (a) the file compressed in the zip to follow proper organization and (b) all internal references to be correct.

Good luck with that.

I'm very impressed.  This whole thing looks really REALLY good.  Thank you Smith Micro.  Couple this with Zbrush, which can make really anything you can imagine; and one should be covered for all things 3d.

The 64-bit color space has been in since Poser 5. Firefly and the material room have always used floating point inside the rendering equations.

Poser 7 introduced the use of HDRI (also floating point) images for input. And I can't remember which but output of HDRI was added well before this release. Probably was PP2010 but I can't remember.

I am curious though about this statement:

"Plus Poser takes the standard of Weight Map Rigging several steps further with support for Hybrid Joint Rigging (combining traditional Poser Sphere/Capsule Zones with Weight Maps), using either single mesh geometry or traditionally grouped geometry, and enables Weight Maps or zones to affect any number of body parts beyond the current joint. Poser’s new Weight Map Rigging provides a platform that will support third party figures that use Weight Mapping, by expanding the open, well documented and easily editable Poser PZ3 file format, to encourage creativity and user driven enhancements to Poser figures.

This seems to imply at least that they are hoping that interested third parties who will  now have greater access to the Official Documentaiton on the 'PZ3"Format will be expected  build
Rigs based on these Docs and Compile them as PZ3's for use in poser

Will there be and SDK?  with Decent Documentation??

I like the different approach, compared to Daz. It seems as if the new Poser will improve the way we can use existing content. The application drives the use of the figures, rather than the figure locking the user into an application. It seems a much more open, creator-friendly system. I don't particularly care whether it supports Genesis or not.

Quote - Vertex Weight Map Auto Transfer– Poser Pro 2012 Only
For easy character content creation using Poser Pro, we’ve developed the new vertex Weight Map Auto Transfer feature. This powerful new feature makes it incredibly easy to transform any existing clothing item into a full vertex Weight Map Rigged conforming clothing item. Simply open the object you want to transform in the Set-Up room, click on the figure you want the item to match in the Poser Library, and let Poser Pro do the rest.

Is is mean that anyone can create Genesis figure with old Vicky4? Poor Daz.

Quote - using either single mesh geometry or traditionally grouped geometry

I think this is much more interesting. Creating morphs, JMC etc would be much easier.

Render setting, materials and lights are are less popular then new characters. I think that 1% of users will be able use new rendering and shading option. After few months, when BB explain it all about 10%. But 90% can inject new character in figure.

I wonder either what is improved in hair room.

Heh.....

 Just wait until they see what you can do with light emitters in a sci fi or fantasy setting. It -will- be used.....

 

 While I do agree with wolf about the apparent lack of animation improvements, just the ability to convert the old figures to weightmapping is going to be sooooo cool, as well as resurrecting some of the classics. True SSS is also going to pop a few eyes....and with Coop's remark about E-on being included in the new tech, and there being a new Vue due soon, things are definitely looking up animation-wise. Hopefully the kinematics and advanced dope sheet and graph editors will be upcoming....

 

 Now if we can only get some of the goodies they have in Messiah into Poser, like the IK/FK system, and the lovely gizmos in the pose panel. Hopefully we'll see an upgrade of Poser Physics. And it would be real nice if Metaflow somehow came back to life and got added in there in the future......

I guess I qualify as "general public", since my computer skills level are equivalent to that of someone who can change their car's oil, spark plugs, air filter, and change a tire. started in Poser 7 a couple of years ago, loved it. Upgraded to Poser 8, like it better.

There is a lot that has to be learned. I just started, but intend to upgrade. Timing couldn't be better, as I'm now taking on more hours at work. Maybe Pro 2012? Price is good. Not sure if I need all the features, but I can afford it now. Maybe I can use it later. Although not an overtly friendly company, I like dealing with Smith Micro. Good pricing for existing customers, and great customer support. A lot of their people sharing their knowledge on the forums. They have my business. Do hope they have a better manual this time around. 

Is Poser perfect? Of course not. It is a low end program. But I cannot afford the better programs out there. Probably never will. It works for me. Now I will definately need to upgrade my computer. Looking at a kit at Newegg.

Hi nobodyinparticular,

 

I would go for the Pro 2012. Gives you alot of options to breathe some more life into older figures M4/V4 and all the rest. With being able to convert them to weight mapping in the problem bend areas. You get alot more bang for your buck.

 I know what you mean, having had a chance to play a bit in Messiah. I was planning to C4D myself, then they went with the new packaging, which put the version I'd need out of my immediate reach. But then pmg did their promo, so at least I have Messiah to learn.....

Woopie choopie, now the programers coulden't fix bugs in 8 or 2010, same bugs going back to poser 4.

The testers blind as could not see the bugs.

8 and 2010 still buged and lots of faults.

9 and 2012 will be heavly bugged when ya buy.

And the testers will still be blind as they wont spots the bugs.

So yea right buy another buged version, i will only buy poser again and even vue, when they take the programs away from american programers, and give programs to programers in other countries.

Hell give them to the chinese after all the chinese programers keep hacking and shuting down the american military computers.

So the chinese will be able to program both programs with no bug's.

Yeah, have found Pro2010 to be the most stable and useful iteration of Poser ever.  I think it contributed to my best work as a wannabe artist.

Really excited about this one.  And the Zbrush 4r2.  I kind of watched both videos and just stared and gibbered a bit.  Like a deer in headlights. 

Poser 8 was a big improvement over 7. I expect 9 to be even better. Smith Micro has been pretty good to it's customers.

It will still be a low end system. Expect to do work. They didn't finally include the "make art" button, or did they? :-)

What is nonlinear motion mixing? Is it the same as nonlinear animation? Or a special variant of it? (Google did not show me anything useful)

Wow, this is the first version of Poser I will not purchase. Poser 8 has all that I wish for and I'll stick to it for many more years. P9 doesn't excite me at all, nothing in it I will use, but I can see how it does thrill others. Not, me I'm beyond that. What is with the RDNA deal?

NO POSER SUPPORT FOR GENESIS

"Many ideas, even some of the interesting ones, come with a consequence, and sometimes those consequences are too dear to accept. This is the case with fully adopting the new Genesis system from Daz. There are some good features in their new system, and those that make sense to us, are supported in a way that would benefit not just Daz, but the whole ecosystem of content developers. Those that do not fit within our strategy of an open system, free from dependencies on technologies that are beyond our control, aren’t in synch with our long term goals for growing Poser. Directly supporting the Genesis system does not meet those needs. However, doing our best to support the features that Genesis can provide to all Poser users is clearly beneficial."

you can move on and focus on poser content.

The way I see it, is that weight mapping is there, the tools are there, so Daz has to get Genesis into Poser and use the tools provided, and distribute a version compatible with Poser in pz3/cr2 format, like USUAL.

Tools don't acomodate to content, it's the other way around, IMO.

Simply put it's just like GIMP/Photoshop.  When you're the new guy on the block, you make your tools compatible with the competition or no one uses the product.

If a vendor can't sell their Photoshop brushes to a GIMP user, they ignore the market segment.

DAZ has spoken officially in thier DS4 FAQ and from a DAZ

Employee "DAZ Rand":

"Full Genesis functionality will not ever work in poser unless Smith Micro programs in support. Just because they have a version of weight mapping does not mean that it is compatible technology. We cannot rewrite their code.

THis is now and has always been their choice.

We have also done "Our Part" by having a CR2 exporter that will be free to everyone. This will allow limited "Baked" Genesis forms in Poser... so dial up Anubis, export, open in poser... use Anubis."

From what I've seen, this "DAZ_Rand" corrects himself so much, I'd be afraid to put any stock in anything the character says.

Well, I just wanted to clarify that even if there is no OFFICIAL support at the moment, from SM or Daz, Poser DOES (according to the blog and posts from dimension3d at RDNA) have the necesary technology to get a funcional Genesis.

Quote - Well, I just wanted to clarify that even if there is no OFFICIAL support at the moment, from SM or Daz, Poser DOES (according to the blog and posts from dimension3d at RDNA) have the necesary technology to get a funcional Genesis.

I think it will end up like the DAZ dynamics; a Poser version and a DAZ version if the vendor wants to support both systems.

 

I for one think this is the most exciting upgrade since verson 6 was announced.  They have finally added the one thing I have long wanted, a decent GPU based preview!  Now I will actually have time to animate without tieing up my computer for hours/days!

Everything else looks great too.  I can only see one thing they forgot.  There is still no soft-body dynamics.  I was at least hoping we'd get either a spring solver like iClone's or a native jelly/jiggles deformer.

I tried to use the jelly morph, but it seems incompatible with newer versions of python.

The FAQ might be right, but what you are implying is not, since Daz themselves talked about a DS4 exporter which outputs a baked yet poseable Genesis figure, compatible with Poser. So the statement "Full Genesis functionality will not ever work" is correct, but note "FULL", meaning partial (up to 70%, 90%, 99%, that's not stated) functionality IS possible.

From what I've seen, this "DAZ_Rand" corrects himself so much, I'd be afraid to put any stock in anything the character says.

 

And the DAZ Studio 4 FAQ is "Wrong" also???

Since most of the "feature list" for DS4 says [coming soon] very likely the answer to that question is yes.  After all, bugs from DS3, a user manual for DS3, shader mixer, etc. were all [coming soon] until they introducted DS4.  Now, they're not EVER coming - soon or otherwise.

Quote - what a surpise. still not good enough for aeilkema. who woulda thunk it?

Not good enough? You're looking it at the wrong way.... It's too goog for me. An Aston Martin is too much for me, it's overpowered, I can not handle what it offers. So is P9, too much to handle for me. Must you guys always think so negatively? Cheer up a little, P9 is cool and so are Aston Martins, but I don't need either of them.

Due to the childish TOS changes, I'm not allowed to link to my other products outside of Rendo anymore :(

Food for thought.....

Quote - What is with the RDNA deal? Don't they know many people don't visit that place? Odd to try to reach the customers through a place that has very little forum activity.

 

It's probably because unlike Renderosity and DAZ, RDNA has a history of actually supporting the Poser figures that come with the software. They also have a favorable working history with the company via Content Paradise.

And they don't allow the kinds of posts that people get away with here. The TOS there is about being respectful for real. They don't have the mud-slinging name-calling fights that happen here with each release.

Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)

Poser 9...Great! Add it to my never ending wishlist, on top of a new car seat, a new computer, Win 7, Adobe CS5.5 Master Collection, Vue 9, oh, and lets not forget the learning curves usually assoicated with all. Plus, being stuck as a guy collecting only disability, with the ever present fear that in about 6-9 months there won't even be Socisl Security....etc. How do you spell "screwed?"
