When I first covered Poser 7 I found it to be a really high quality program that could create fairly realistic human representations and produce high quality animation. That version was released in 2007. Fast forward to the Poser Pro 2010 version, and the quality of rendering has really improved dramatically as has the depth of features and this keeps Poser one of the best programs that are able to generate the human figure in a realistic form.
Poser Pro 2010 is the latest version of Smith Micro's 3D figure design and animation solution for creating, and animating human, and animal figures. It is also capable of customizing figures and scenes by mapping facial photos to create realistic 3D portraits. It can create both stills, and animations, create output movies, and images for use in Web, print, and video projects. You can even export your renderings for use in other applications such as Adobe Photoshop for artistic expression.

Once again, I have to wonder how much Smith Micro pays writers for these glowing reviews, or perhaps whether we're using the same product. Yes, this is a slick, feature-rich product, but why can't just ONE reviewer be honest enough to mention the persistent lack of stability? As a veteran software developer, I KNOW how the system works - Engineers WANT to create a quality product, but the marketeers demand more and more features, and never allow the developers enough time to go back and fix bugs. I won't go into the myriad of issues in this release - they're largely identical to those that have plagued this product for the past several versions. Suffice it to say: Save often!
