Features

• Complete 3D Figure Design

  Create any figure imaginable using Poser's powerful 3D toolset. Scale and manipulate individual body parts, modify facial expressions, customize ethnicity, add clothing and props, and pose your figures down to the finest detail.

• Powerful Rendering Capabilities

  Poser’s powerful FireFly render engine delivers high-quality artistic effects for creating extraordinary, professional renders with natural lighting, shadows, reflections and refractions. Customize your final output in many styles, including photorealism, sketch, cartoon, silhouette and more.

• Animation Controls

• Dynamic Hair and Cloth

  Dynamic props move with your figure and add realism to your animations. Clothing drapes and deforms just as it should in real-life over a human figure, while hair can be grown, styled and controlled dynamically as if blown by the wind.

• Loaded With 3D Content

  - Poser includes high resolution male and female figures, children, animals, cartoons, robots, and more – over 80 fully textured figure models in all. Hundreds of poses, facial expressions, full body morphs, hair, clothing, light sets and props are also included so you can get started fast. Plus, sound and motion files included add life to your figures and scenes.

Strata Foto 3D

Company / developer:
  Strata

Strata Foto 3D is a powerful tool for creating professional quality 3D content from still images. A wide range of objects can be modeled including those with holes and 'difficult' organic shapes. Using a conventional camera, photos of your object on a printed mat are taken from a number of viewpoints in front of a plain backdrop. The shape of the object and its surface color are automatically extracted from each photo and this information is used to build a high quality 3D object.

The model can be sent to a 3D layer in Photoshop CS3 or CS4 EX or imported into a 3D editing and rendering software such as Strata 3D CX. Finally, the model can be imported into Strata Live 3D for interactive 3D display within a website, flash file, or an Adobe Acrobat PDF document (without any plug-ins).
