It's expensive for the non-pro, but not to such a degree that you're going to kill yourself trying. Knowing what those things are is a good chunk of the battle.ġ) Poser's barriers to entry are rather low when you get down to it. There are a few things Poser does well, a few things it does that Studio does not, and some other things it does not do. It's still in my mind best used to do that, but that's me. Poser's original purpose was to help people learn to draw anatomy.

But assuming I don't get Poser, do you think it would be easier to start with a pre-built rig and learn how to use a rig before trying to create them, or should I just push through with learning from scratch? I would like to hear from some others before I make a final decision. Since it focuses only on rigging and posing, it seems like it should be a lot easier to learn than in a program designed to do everything. That's partially why I wanted to get Poser. I have to say that I'm really satisfied with Blender, but since it does very nearly everything, from rendering to rigging to UV mapping, it's hard to glean how to do one specific thing. If you have any general question about rigging, I don't use blender, just ask? Are you in school? A student copy of Maya would cost less and leave less to be desired. Almost every pro app has either plugins and/or premade rigs which really does simplify the process. Like most things, it goes back to where the bones are placed.

Also, it would be nice to hear from both experienced users and those just getting used to the software, so feel free to answer even if you don't think you're experienced enough. If you don't feel comfortable answering part of the question, don't worry about it. Do you use Poser mainly for the content, or more for what the program can do? Are there any features you couldn't live without? Are there any features you could?ģ. How easy is it to learn Poser? Does it have a steep learning, or can it be used pretty much out of the box.Ģ.

I also completely suck at animation, so it would be nice to work with software that's specifically meant for it.Īnyways, the main questions I wanted to ask are:ġ. The main problem is that, especially since I'm fairly new to modeling, it takes forever to rig a model and then once I do, I realize that there is some small thing I want to change for the model, so I have to go to an older file that's still mirrored, fix it, import it into the file with the rig, etc. Right now I'm using Blender to create models, but eventually I get to the point where I have to rig it to actually make it look decent (who knew?). But considering that it's between 250 and 500 dollars, I really want to make sure that it's something that will actually help creating sprites (and possibly animations *crosses fingers*). I saw that at least a few people on the forum use Poser to generate their sprites, and I was thinking of maybe getting myself a copy. Hopefully this is in the right section (feel free to move it if it isn't).
