Considering what it is capable of doing Poser 7 is truly a bargain at $249.99 USD (Upgrades from Poser 4 and up; 129.99). It does a remarkably good job of creating figures that look almost real, and animations that have realistic moves. The morphing tool that is new to Poser 7, may be one of the best features since it makes some of the bending issues in past versions, no longer a problem.

For those who know some programming, there is a Python programming interface that allows you to execute Python scripts from two locations; the scripts palette, or directly. Poser 7 comes with a 135 page PoserPython Methods Manual that gives you direction on how to use the scripting language.

Poser 7 is great for graphic and web design, to create faces and figures for your illustrations, and web designs. It would work well for fine art and illustration, as you could eliminate the need for mannequins, or even live models. It would be a breeze for creating story boards, and pre-visualizations. It could be used for medical illustrations, as well as for Architecture and Design. It could even be used for Anime, Comics, and Photorealism.

If you want to see what some have done in the past with Poser, you can check out the gallery that is located on the e frontier website. There is also a pretty active community forum available as well.

The first reported sighting of a Poser Drummer is a scene that mixes Poser animation with live video and it's an alien at that! Watch the video at the bottom of the page.
