Poser 7 is one of the most enjoyable applications for creating realistic animated 3-D characters. In Poser 7 Essential Training, instructor Larry Mitchell explains how to design, pose, and animate 3-D characters using the program s intuitive interface, tools, and workflow. The training covers everything from essential animation principles to working on the intricate details of individual body parts and complicated facial expressions. Larry also teaches the minute steps required to create characters that can lip-synch to recorded sound files. Advanced topics, such as incorporating HDRI lighting, animating to reference videos, and integrating Poser 7 and Vue 6, add to the full learning experience. Exercise files accompany the tutorials.

Talks about Poser 7 but shows Poser 6 screens

I have to agree with the previous reviewer in the amount of material covered but for the price that I paid I would have liked the screens to be in Poser 7 and not in Poser 6. It also seems that the cartoon figures were dropped from Poser 7 but had several minutes within these tutorials. If this was really Poser 7 than why not show Poser 7 items.

Poser 7

This is a great dvd for getting the hang of Poser 7 for those who are new like me.
I also have the books for Poser 7 but I do better with a hands on type of learning, but with both you can learn from the dvd and later you can read up on anything from the books that you have a question on. Plus it comes with a 2nd dvd with execercise files on it.

All in all it’s a great investment for those who are serious about Poser and how it can you can use the knowledge from this dvd to express yourself as an artist...... graphics, illustrator, or even photography can be incorporated into poser.

Poser 7 Essential Training

I know that nothing is perfect, but this training content is so far the best. It covers most of the items/topics used in Poser. He uses many examples, and it is easy to understand. The price might be a little bit high, but I would rather pay for something that I want to learn. Highly recommended.
