• Use as Teaching Tool - Poser Figure Artist provides a digital classroom so you can discover more and better understand figure art, learn about the 3D perspective, vanishing points, lighting, shadows and more.

Features

• Easy to Use - Artists and hobbyists, who traditionally use mannequins and models as visual references for studying the human figure, will appreciate the intuitive interface.
• Extensive Learning Tools - Get started in 3D with Poser Figure Artist’s Quickstart Project Guide, which steps you through a few projects that show you how to work with virtual models, learn more about figure art with two chapters of Les Pardew’s new figure drawing book, view sample images and more.
• Loaded With Content - Poser Figure Artist comes loaded with virtual models, content and props.

Adjust camera angles and use sophisticated lighting effects and shadows to create realistic environments for your virtual figure.
• Create Finished Art - You can create finished figure art in many different styles. Use Poser Figure Artist’s powerful technology to generate amazing photorealistic imagery, or stylize your art and render your scenes as cartoon or sketch art, including pastel, charcoal, or pen and ink styles. You can also use your virtual model as reference for creating traditional art, such as painting or sculpture.
• Based on Poser - Poser Figure Artist is based on Poser, e frontier’s 3D figure design and animation software. Poser is used by computer graphics artists to create human figure art and animation in 3D.

	Easy to Use Figure Artist is organized for ease of use. The interface is divided into two parts that resemble pages. The right page facilitates the eight steps used to build and pose models, and the left page is the “stage” to display and move figures, props and backgrounds. The interface gives you access to three distinct rooms set up to help you with specific tasks in creating your art: The Library Room for creating your scenes The Publish Room for rendering and outputting your finished art The Tutorials Room for learning about the software or drawing techniques
	Loaded With 3D Content The Library room includes hundreds of 3D objects, all organized to guide you through designing your scenes: Figures – male, female, boy, girl, three robots, two skeletons, and of course a wooden mannequin Poses – over 100 poses in all kinds of positions, including, sitting, standing, running, business and everyday life Expressions – six expressions for each human figure including anger, surprise, fear, joy, disgust and sadness Hair – three to four pieces of hair for each child, and 10+ for the male and female figures Hands – close to 100 hand poses, including basic, counting, hand puppets, sign language and more Props – over 100 pieces of clothing, furniture, a complete building interior and more Lighting – five basic lights, plus 10 image based light sets Cameras – five different focal lengths from wide angle to close up
	Extensive Composition Tools Poser Figure Artist provides you the tools needed to be fully in control of your composition: Perspective tools provide a number of valuable on-screen visual aids that help you draw better and more precisely. Use preset camera angles and focal lengths to find the composition that best suits your subject matter. Create dramatic lighting effects with Poser Figure Artist's sophisticated lighting capabilities, including Image Based Lighting (IBL) to achieve incredibly realistic lighting and Depth Cueing to make background objects appear less defined.
	Create Art in Many Styles Artists can create finished figure art in many different styles: Photorealistic Art Advanced rendering techniques in Poser Figure Artist’s FireFly render engine generate superb photorealistic results: Raytracing calculates the color of each pixel of an image following rays of light as they interact with surfaces, taking in account all reflections and refractions occurring in the path. Raytraced Shadows have a softer, natural look and show natural falloffs at edges. Ambient Occlusion uses raytracing to calculate to which degree other objects in the scene influence ambient lights striking an object. Ambient Occlusion darkens surfaces within a scene when their exposure to light is blocked by other objects., so figures and objects appear as though they are in a natural lighting environment. Texture Filtering, another technique, applies a filter to 2D image maps, such as background images, giving them a softer appearance. Cartoon Art Generate cartoon imagery using the Cartoon Preview. Images exported with cartoon preview can be brought into Manga Studio (another e frontier product) to create comic or Manga art. Sketch Art The Sketch Renderer lets you finish images in many custom styles, including charcoal, etching, or pastel. Customize the characteristics of your render to imitate great masters like Monet, Pollock, Seurat and others. Traditional Art Use your composed scene as a virtual model for finishing your art in traditional media, such as painting or sculpture.
