• Practical Poser 6 teaches Poser artists the tasks you want, and need, to learn so that you can get up to speed quickly and achieve your best results. Whether you’re a hobbyist or professional, you’ll learn how to create Poser scenes, how to add realism to your Poser characters, and even how to make your own Poser clothing. You’ll learn practical, real-world tasks that will help you reach your goals and, most important, you’ll have fun learning. In the first part of the book you’ll get a quick overview and review of what you need to know in the Pose Room, starting with the Poser 6 interface and progressing, in a logical manner, to building scenes. You’ll also learn how to use lights and cameras, and how to create and save your own light and camera sets to the Poser library. From there, you’ll learn a plethora of practical skills including how to: * Work in the other Poser rooms * Prepare photographs in the Face Room and create and save custom faces * Use the Hair Room to add hair to Poser clothing or props, and how to pick up hair colors from underlying textures * Work with various types of Poser clothing, and learn the differences between conforming clothing and dynamic clothing * Decipher materials in the advanced Material Room view * Create and customize Poser clothing * Use magnets to create morphs in Poser * Export and import morphs to and from an external morphing program * Model a simple piece of clothing, create UV maps for common clothing articles (shirts, skirts, and pants), assign materials in clothing, and group them correctly * Save different types of Poser content into the Poser libraries so that they work properly * Enhance your Poser renders so that they look their best by learning how the render engine works SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS Poser 6 for Windows or Mac with the latest service releases and the latest video drivers that are available for your video card; Windows 2000, XP; 500 MHz Pentium class or compatible (700 MHz or faster recommended); 256MB system RAM (512MB or more recommended); 500MB free hard disk space (2GB recommended); 24-bit color display, 1024x768 resolution: Mac OS X 10.2 or later; 500 MHz G3 processor (700 MHz G4 or faster recommended); 256MB system RAM (512MB or more recommended); 500MB free hard disk space (2GB recommended); 24-bit color display, 1024x768 resolution; OpenGL-enabled graphics card or chipset recommended (recent NVIDIA GeForce or ATI Radeon preferred); Internet connection required for Content Paradise; CD-ROM drive.
