Poser 11 and Poser Pro 11 have been released today! UK prices are \u00a395 for 11 and \u00a3239 for Pro 11. USA prices are $139.99 \/ $349.99. Both Windows and Mac version are available now, and are heavily discounted.<\/p>\n

\"poser11\"<\/a><\/p>\n

New features in v.11 include:<\/p>\n

* an integrated (‘Superfly’) version of Blender’s professional level Cycles render-engine, including caustics.<\/p>\n

* the Pro 11 version supports Nvidia CUDA, giving a GPU-assisted boost to render times.<\/p>\n

* new Poser base female character, Pauline, shipping as standard.<\/p>\n

* add realistic tattoos and scars, via new layered materials.<\/p>\n

* improved OpenGL ‘Comic Book’ real-time rendering, adjustable ink outlines.<\/p>\n

\"posertoon\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I wonder if we might start to see new semi-toon characters + presets dedicated solely to the comic book look?<\/p>\n

Plus there’s…<\/p>\n

* a new scalable user interface, for those working on humongously large monitors.<\/p>\n

* it’s now easier to step back and forth between characters, as you build a scene. <\/p>\n

* Pro also has bone control handles, and direct character manipulation is now easier.<\/p>\n

* new rigging features, with some automation.<\/p>\n

* customisable tool\/dial\/character palettes and hot keys. Adjustable auto-save.<\/p>\n

Looks good. Let’s hope that the Blender\/Cycles ‘Superfly’ rendering engine gives fast and good-looking results with standard characters, without having to faff around applying\/tweaking three-dozen new materials by hand. And that ‘the comic-book look’ is viable for producing comic-books which will please the highly discerning eye of comics fans. If Poser 11 gets those two things right, then I’d say it’s back in the game against DAZ Studio.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
