Product Description

Review
"B. L. Render tells you all you need to know to avoid many hours of hair-pulling and banging your head against your monitor... If you read this book, AND follow through on the practice exercises included on the CD, you too will be able to create a poseable figure for Poser."
Five star reader review from online bookstore

"...richly illustrated, well-written and accessible...If you're serious about using Poser professionally, then this book is a must have for your library." - www.metromac.org

Product Description
Learn from a Poser master how to make the best use of this versatile and exciting figure creation package, whether you are using version 3, 4, the Pro Pack or the new version 5 upgrade.

BL Render provides an in-depth guide that explains each aspect of the process of creating a figure in Curious Labs' Poser. It begins with simple projects, such as creating morphs for existing figures, and takes you through to the more advanced options such as geometry swapping, joint parameters, the design of the mesh and how that will affect the working of your figure.

Each section begins with the theory behind each step, giving an abstracted base knowledge of the task at hand. Practical sections for each chapter are included on the free CD in which the concepts are put to use in examples, code snippets and tutorials, with all the files you need to follow along yourself. The CD is also packed with numerous utility programs for you to use when creating your figures.

Finally, there is a trouble-shooting guide for any problems and/or bugs that may occur in each stage, so you are fully equipped to use this package professionally.

If you want to know not only what steps to follow, but how to design the figure for optimal performance and why things work the way they do, then this is the book for you.

* Learn from a professional how to make Poser work best for you
* Color illustrations throughout show you what you can achieve
* The free CD-Rom includes all the files you need to try each tutorial for yourself, surely the quickest way to learn

3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, 5 May 2004
By A Customer
I was very disappointed with this book. It is OK for all those who have already made figures and require further information but very little use for those starting out. I would like to have had a worked example to follow through and had explanation of the pit falls that may be encountered - this is what I expected but......

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, but not for complete beginners, 4 Oct 2004
This book is not for complete beginners and will not show you how to make your own models if that is what you are looking for.
It also requires some familiarity with the Poser program itself.

Once you have a basic understanding of Poser, have tried to make your own models work in Poser and run into the many problems the process often entails, then this IS the book for you.
It is an invaluable source of information on the source of figure creation.
The trouble shooting section in particular has been written with a sense of humour which made me laugh out loud.
Well worth the money.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bloodsong's New Book, 11 Sep 2003
By Dr N J Pickering (Malmesbury, Wiltshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
Many seasoned Poser user's will know LB Render as 'Bloodsong'_ her forum handle. Despite the title, users of ealier versions of Poser (4.03 through Pro_Pack) will find this volume immensely helpful. This excellent handbook takes one in to areas that the manual doesn't even touch on such as a detailed description of the purpose of the various lines of text based code that make up poser library files. The superb central chapter gives cutting edge advice about Poser content creation. One of the most useful chapters for me was the troubleshooting chapter that gives an in depth insight in to the many things that can go wrong when creating Poser content_ sort of an off-line help forum..fantastic!

1.0 out of 5 stars What a waste of time
To be brutal, if you're very new to figure creation then this book may well just confuse you and if you've already dabbled with figures then this book is nothing new. Read more
