Curious Labs
today announced the release of Poser Pro Pack, a 3D character
modeling and animation package, for the Macintosh and Windows.
Curious Labs is the company formed by some of the original developers
of Poser after the dissolution of Metacreations' software division
about a year ago.
The Pro Pack is a new addon to Poser designed to address the needs
of professional animators and position Poser as a viable alternative
to other professional character animation packages on the market.
Pro Pack enhances Poser 4's production capabilities with new export
options, 3D integration, new features and content and improved
workflow for the creation of custom figures. These changes allow
users to create 3D characters for the Web, prin and video.
Features of the Pro Pack include:
- Host Poser 4 scene files in NewTek LightWave and Discreet
3D Studio MAX, including animated 3D characters with the plugins
included;
- Export animated character content created in Poser to Flash
for 2D;
- Create custom figures with Pro Pack's "Figure Set-Up Room,"
including the ability to create bones and build body parts from
any 3D geometry data.
It also includes
2D-Motion Blur, multi-view panes, Python scripting support and
new compressed library files.
Poser Pro
Pack is available now for users of Poser 4.0.3 for $149. For users
of Poser 1,2 or 3, the upgrade to Poser 4, which is required to
use the Pro Pack, costs $99. For more information, visit http://www.curiouslabs.com.
