Description It's very interesting opening Poser again after six months of working with Maya. What's most surprising is how many skills that were taught for Maya could actually be applied to lesser programs. Efficiency is the problem most plagued when dealing with animation. My professor, an animation veteran with films like Chronicles of Narnia, Spiderman 3, Terminator Salvation, and Cats and Dogs under his belt, taught us some invaluable tips to save memory and maximizing render speed.

An image like this, at this resolution (1080P), would not have been possible 6 months ago on my computer. I have performed NO system upgrades of any kind.

Incredible detail on the face and it is a most beautiful render. I find the dof is rather funky though almost as if there were a distortion filter active. In such a closeup shot I would think that the detail would be overall rather than center focused.

Yeah DOF is tricky with this program. It's not as accurate as Maya. Whats frustrating is I cannot do test renders because the test renders take almost as long to render as the final piece.

That's incredible! I wish my school had classes that dealt with 3d animation and rendering. Like you said, you can learn things you did not think possible.

It is. We toured Sony Imageworks this past semester in that class.
