Apteromata Flight returns
I’m pleased to see that the superb steampunk costume Apteromata Flight for Poser has been newly put up for sale at Runtime DNA. There were a few months where it wasn’t for sale anywhere, and it would have been a great pity to have seen it vanish. Runtime DNA also has all the MAT retexturing packs, Atropos, XP, and Finery.
Updated the ‘Poser 9 / 2012 : the missing training DVD’ page – new videos
I’ve updated this blog’s page for Poser 9 / 2012 : the missing training DVD. Four new videos have been added. Three new ones are in a new sub-section called “Poser lighting basics”. The other is this more advanced tutorial, on “How to animate two figures, interacting”…
Antonia Polygon-WM – Poser showcase figure – released
Antonia Polygon-WM is the new free showcase female character for Poser and Poser Pro 2014. Available free at her own site…
“She was designed to showcase Poser 9 and Poser Pro 2012’s newest features and technology … developed by a group of talented members of the Poser community in a thirty-month effort, and the figure has all the superior characteristics of Antonia Polygon – Standard.”
She’s a 63Mb download. WM stands for “weight mapped”, which means she’s very flexible and yet her joints don’t go awry.
Poser now exports textures properly to Photoshop
The new Service Release 2 (SR2) patch for Poser now exports characters and props in a Collada format which…
“enables export of bump and normal maps in Photoshop compatible fashion”
So Photoshop CS6 Extended users can import a posable character that doesn’t need any materials tweaking.
Another very cool new feature will be the forthcoming ability to…
“get animated 3D characters from Poser into WebGL-enabled browsers like Chrome or Firefox.”
These latest browsers can now run full-blown 3D games, and 3D model displays, natively — without needing any clunky Flash or Java plugins.
PoserPhysics 2012
Coming soon for Poser animators, the physics plugin…
PoserPhysics 2012 to bring your scenes to life […] coming out for Poser this summer.

Advanced users will also be able to script it via a Python API. It will be available for Poser 9 and Poser Pro 2012, on Mac and Windows as either 32 and 64 bit OS’s.
Skip the bunnies…

Look at my Hair?
I found a fine blog run by the UK developer of the Look at my Hair? (LAMH) DAZ Studio 4 plugin. As you might guess, it puts hair on animals, and possibly (I’m guessing) beards on humans…
It’s not quite commercial yet…
“Look at my Hair beta 1.0 is ready and will be dispatched to beta testers next week.”
But it looks like it’s not far off from going in sale. The developer says that…
“The workflow is so simple and immediate that you will feel entertained and blown away by it … Just pose your model as you like, and hair will follow!”
That certainly sounds enticing, but I want feasible render times when using strand hair. But even on that point, there’s hope. Because the developer says…
“curves are highly optimized and render very, very fast and with high quality”
