2.0 out of 5 stars Superfacial Secrets of Poser 7 or more source material for Photoshop, 21 Feb 2007
By J. Blower "Animation enthusiast since 2003" (Lancashire - UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Disappointment was my reaction when I read this book. The art work and publication standards are very high, but if you are looking for 'secrets' then this is not the book. There are sixteen (artists/chapters) and their work is outstanding, but their 'step by step' instructions in at least 12 chapters is extremely superficial. In most case it runs like this. 1 Think of an idea 2 'Fire up Poser and load a stock item' pose and render
Stages 3 to 8 Enhance the image in photoshop. In all stages again the explanation is extremely brief and leaves you wondering how the outcome displayed was achieved. Mike Campau in Chapter 13 provides some stunning images but you are provided with three very brief stages of explanation and you get the strong impression that he has no intention of telling you his trade secrets. Which is fair enough I guess, but if you are paying for secrets then it does leave you feeling cheated.
Three artists provide more information than the rest but the impression is that the book is patchy and inconsistent.
It appears that there is more reference to Photoshop than Poser in this book. It does not provide any more or additional detail than the manual. Furthermore it doesn't distinguish Poser 7's additional features from earlier versions of the software. This could have be just as easily been titled an Introduction to Poser 5 and how it can provide intial renders for Photoshop.
