Greetings Bipedial Carbon-based Lifeforms, and how are you life funtions today?
yeah, I said that somewhere else also, but It's so cool I get to say it twice.
Poser is a 3D Animation Tool that stresses the people aspect of art. Mostly nude women in fact. I think the company also makes Byrce, a 3d terrain editor. So I guess they were expecting people to buy both to get good pictures. As far as the comunity goes, I've seen very little animation. (Of course, most of what I've seen is from Renderosity, which doesn't do animation.) Most people usually take it one picture at a time (cowards). I have seen, however, an entire freakin music video (and a lot of it) made in poser. A fantasy bit that cut a few corners like hardcore physics and facial expressions, but solid none the less. A guy with wings and his 2 friends take on an evil hoarde. Almost no connection to the actual song, and I even forget who played. I've also seen a few basic atempts at it in the local paper.
The Header there was done in just about 5 minutes from the time I decided I needed a header, made it in poser, discovered one-way squares stink for shadows, put letters in it in adobe, and got it to the page. (Plus about an extra minute if you're looking at the new one with clouds)
And so, With great help from my friend Andy, I present my great works of art!

Know M. C. Escher?
Well I'm making a 3d model of his painting whatnot of "Reletivity" I've never seen a landscape done in Poser, and I hope there's not a really good reason not to, but it seems to run fine. Others probably use that bryce whatnot.
The Pictures got to be so many that they got thier own page. These are cool, check them out.
The Prop and that other file of my ReletiveScape. it seems to compress irregularly small, so it might not work right. (a "NEW" version is up as of 9/30/01, a few fixes, additions. more to come)
Opens mostly right in Poser4 and most likely 3 and 2. Also, I've updated it since this version but am too lazy to upload the nice one. Plus I'm still not done with this phase of it. I'm switching arches with my own, adding back rooms, and trying despratly to create the stuff that escher didn't draw.
If you want to make suggestions feel free, please, really, any help would really be nice. Mail Me.
Oh, yeah. this is my work. I thought of it, I made it, the hours of sweat and labor are mine. If you want to make money off it in anyway whatsoever you need to ask me. I might let you. If you make a lot of money I'll probably want some of it. I'm really proud of this. I worked hard to make something of quality. It's my only claim to fame, but it's there none-the-less.
My First Work. I worked quite a bit on it but it seems that I can't go on. Some bugs with the program are making it 1- not show the two corpses in it, and 2- not letting me get rid of them or replace them. Also 3- it makes a wierd 3rd light that I don't like being there each time I load it....
anyway, it started as 3 maniquines in a fairly simple room. One of them gets up though. It was HARD to get the dumb guy to stand up! but it looks great. It's my first try at poser's animation setup. I've learned a lot since then. Although, after he stood up, I didn't really have a script, so I just kinda dropped it...
Spiffy kung-fu animation bit, but the movie I got is 20 megs so I didn't get it up. This is fun to work with. I decided that the guy needs some baddies to beat up, so they're going to ride in on flying blocks. [added first baddie] So far it looks good, but when I made him jumping to the platform I kinda forgot to compare him to my hero. You see, in this project, I decided to do some quality work. So I made the action smooth, and was generous with the frame rate. The baddie jumps off the block and comes on guard in the time it takes my hero to shift wieght to his back leg. [second baddie added] Another guy surfs in on a block and leaps to the main platform. I'm quasi-busy trying to get him to scramble up it in time to throw a punch. I've also decided to fix the main camera so that his scrambling is seen.

I saw a 3d model of a missle turrent from StarCraft, and I said "Spiffy, but I bet I could make one that doesn't look as funney." HA! Well in any case, I've got a funney looking model that I'm trying to get textures worked out on. I used auto-CAD a lot on this one, but it's still a poser-prop. The only problem is that I have no idea how textures work....
Pastel Turrent
I "stole" a character of a StarCraft Marine, but it had no rifle. so I made him one. A really good one too. I modled it to what I could see from different shots of it in the game, including: the race selection screen, the cutscene when they blow the station, and the stuff in the booklet. I have to say that it's very accurate, minus the one barrel that needs a bunch of holes cut in it. There are problems with getting it to be a prop though, it seems to work great when I make it a prop, but when I add it to a scene it's squished flat. The solution is not to glue it in a heirarchy, so every time I import it I have to glue it together again. [Note: the terran victory screen has a gun with more detail that I need to look at]
C-14 Impaler Gauss Rifle
Yup, it's my mug..
More of a Flaggon then a mug
A cute lille sentry bot that gets lonely. He's not much of a character, but he's fun to play with. I got a cool motion study of how he draws his gatling gun. I'm also making a movie of him. I'm useing the dumb version because it's easier to use. I'm fairly pissed at Poser becuase it just kind of "forgets" things like shadows when you use enough objects... grr
Anyway, here he is from the movie:
KillBot
Sad KillBot
New KillBot with retractable gattling gun
I got two nice freebies and put them together. I like the idea of the character out of her element, forcing her to adjust. I also have the perfect prop for her, a sea-shell bra. Unfortunetly I can't get them at the right angle without them distorting. Various tricks either don't work or would screw it up. Oh well...
A bald mermaid?
A highly detailed skull I got with a high-deatail eye. They go really well together. The only weak part is the flower. I thought it would be a nice artsy bit in there, but I think it just subtracts from the overall quality.
Alas, Horatio, I knew him well...
I kept playing with the skull. I use those shades a lot. The background is something I snatched off of Renderosity. Bryce fire I think.
Skull with shades in fire
This is a really good example of an extra feature in Poser 4. The sketch editor has a bundle of options, so don't think that this is all it can do. It also has a handy number of pre-set examples. I think this is the "standard" sketch design, but this actually looks good.
If I could draw like this...
Working with a nice character and some quality clothing. Ok, so the two don't match at all, but I don't have any titanium undies. This picture also needs a background. An entrance to a castle would work well. I also have sketches of it that worked out well, but they need the right background. hmmm, anti-aliasing this would do it a world of good.
Don't mess with this chic
Yeah, ok, so it's not the deepest peice of work I've done. Most of my stuff is just what I've played around with, and this is what I've got, so:
Girl with gun
I'm most fond of playing with the maniquine and the stick figure though. And those shades! The light needs to be warmer, it's too harsh...
Another stick figure
This is just some fun I had to look at some of my weapons. I admit that I'm a sucker for them on the web. I go for anything...
A heavily armed stick
Just an idea I had. One of my more artsy peices. The floor and the background are my first attempts to get some realish background. If you can't tell, that's supposed to be an evil sceptor, those are flowers, and yes, that thing is a slug. (and for all you really challenged people; it's a vase)
To start
Add some here
And Viola!
Additionally I'm makeing another animation bit where a ninja peeks around a corner and then jumps up a wall. Just a side bit from my ProtossStickFight, HackandSlash stuff. I think it's going to look cool, but you can't
CAN see it! [it's done] The movie is nice, but too big for here. So have some stills instead. It's funny, the movie is larger then the .pz3 file.
The Ninja
He Jumps
He Scrambles
He Peeks
Enter the Ninja Unzip to your library. "Should" run in Poser 3 and up.
I think the stick man and the maniquine kick butt, so I've got a scene with them on the verge of a takedown. Now if I could get the walls and the floor to look high-rez, realistic, and grassy, then it would be an even cooler scene. Unfortunetly, I'm not that good.
Ready for the Hit
Maniquine on shotgun
Same as first, different angle
Artsy bit with stick and man
A really cool bike. Radical design that I would never have the nerve to ride. This thing deserves more then I'm giving it, but here's what I got:
Riding Position
Catchin some Babes
Just something I threw together to use the cigerrette. If I didn't have a life I would add some spiffy-cool smoke trails to it, and actually have it burning, but as it stands...
Ask Yourself
Do I feel lucky?
Well? Do you? Punk!
Well I got a sheet, a skull, and a sycthe. I HAD to try and make death incarnate. I just had to. However, this is a really sad attempt. I should have just gone with the crappy P3 skeleton, but no, I just naturally went for the stick-man.
don't even waste your time
Also a few landscapes. Hack and slash stuff. This is actually the first thing I did and should be at the top. But it's so horribly done I don't want to scare anyone off.
Alas, I am seperated from Poser, my love. So don't expect any updates in this department for awhile.
