Spotted heavy-duty use of Poser stuff in Artifact Entertainment's "Demise" RPG. Not surprising, since this is a home-brew production. What is surprising is the very heavy use of Poser figures in Might and Magic 8. Take a look at the character faces ... a lot of straight default stuff without a lot of morphing, along with the pixie-cut hair-do on one of the faces. Interesting that a big commercial company like New World/3DO wouldn't at least try to disguise the characters a bit. Anyone else see any Poser figures in commercial games out there? --scharmers

Wow, Now I'll HAVE to pick up M&M 8 - after getting seven and playing my wife's copy of 6, that is...:-) On another board someone said that they noticed the textures in Maxis software's "The Sims" were almost identical to Poser textures; I don't think they used Poser, but you never know!

They are most likely the same models but not from Poser. The Poser figures can be purchased from Viewpoint in nearly any format and Zygote also sells them in Character Studio format for 3D Studio Max. GeorgeD

I have The Sims as well as the texturizing freeware addon and the textures in it are very different. Completely different mapping and end result.

The Sims skins are just like Quake skins... as a matter of fact, you can use Quake skins on your Sims. Could be interesting, since there are some bizarre Quake skins out there...

Oh yeah, have Hit Man Harry come and date a Sims girlfriend! Now I gotta pick me up that game! I was reading a gaming mag last week and saw that used Poser for quite a bit of a PCvsConsole article. They used the default Casual Boy with conformed clothes. Heck I even saw Poser 3 figures in an instore flyer at Sears (probably done in house) and even on TV. Poser or at least Zygote is really gettin' around!

Spotted some Poser/Zygote figures on a Laser Tag game at Kay Bee Toys.

As an aside, I saw a poster for a show when I was in Vegas that I could have SWORN was done with Poser figures - only to see an ad for the show on television and see that either the entire performance is digital or the people are actually made to look "plasticy" and artificial... I've seen Poser-only renders that looked more real than the cast in that show!

Poser 2 figures were used in the cutscenes for "Tribal Rage", a "Command & Conquer"-style strategy game that uses bikers, cultists and rednecks in place of "Red Army" and "Blue Army". It's a pile of fun and can be found pretty cheap (I got mine for 6 bucks). In the opening cutscene, a bunch of Posettes on motorcycles incur the wrath of a big fat redneck by blasting his "Head-bobbing" Elvis figurine off the dashboard of his RV truck...

So THAT'S what Tribal Rage is! I saw it yesterday at Electronics Boutique for $9.99; the screen shots looked like watered down Civilization, while the cover shot reminded me too much of Redneck Rampage to take it seriously... :-)

Again , as someone stated already. What you are seeing may not be "Poser Figures" Poser does not have its own models. Poser models come from and are made into models of different formats. Viewpoints "18 Perfect people" forexample look exactly like Poser figures but they are not Poser originally.
