Description ~Multimedia Poser Tutorial 1~

Yay!! 100,000 page hits!!

**IMPORTANT**
You will need Adobe "Flash Player 10", so make sure to upgrade your player to the latest version or else the tutorial might not run at all. Updating your Flash player is very easy - just go here [link] and get it installed. If you can press a button, you can do it!

Want to get started with the 3D program I used to create my entire dA gallery? Here is your chance! This is an easy to follow interactive multimedia presentation that will give you step-by-step instructions to help you learn the Poser 7 basic concepts and functionality.

The tutorial covers the basics such as configuring the 3D workspace, loading figures, posing them, loading clothes, conforming clothes to figures, using materials, hair, lights, cameras, and much more. I wrote about 13 chapters for this tutorial, and you will be asked which ones you want to see, so you can skip chapters whenever you want. Each chapter is loaded with notes and hints that might help you get the best out of Poser 7.

This is my very first tutorial and I don't have a clue how useful it will be to you, so feedback is important if you want it to improve. This was designed for you to use side by side with Poser, so you can follow the instructions hands-on directly in the program. This was NOT meant to teach you how to use Poser without the program. For that I would have to go insane with screen-caps and the tutorial would be come too large to be practical. As it is now it is about 750Kb, which is not bad for 13 interactive multimedia chapters.

As a side note, people have asked me to create a tutorial about how to get started with Poser, but I never gave it much thought until I've learned Flash programming. A Poser tutorial would otherwise be too much work to do with plain HTML on a web page, but with AS3 (ActionScript3) it's a different story. Not only I can present much more information in a single area, but I can also make it multimedia and interactive.

Instead of fiddling with rather painful Flash timelines, I decided to use my "AGE-4" game engine (written entirely in AS3) and create a tutorial that runs like a Japanese graphic novel. I don't think anybody has done that before (that I know of). This way, creating the tutorial was a matter of writing a text script for my AGE-4 game engine and let it generate the interactive multimedia presentation for me. So in the end, no painful Flash timelines were used (yay!!). ^^

All AS3 programming here was created 100% by me from scratch, including the "AGE-4" game engine that was used to create this tutorial. The "Ken" 3D avatar shown in this tutorial was designed by me, 3D clothing created by me, and figure is AnimeDoll by MayaX. A Spanish version is coming next, kindly translated by ~villena-mx directly from Mexico! Many thanks to him for the Spanish translation collab work! ^__^

Hope you like and thanks for coming by!

Well, it was people's choice to remove free Flash contents, in favor of buying them from Apple and Google app stores. Who needs free when you can buy, right? It'sΒ amazing people fell for that gimmick.

It's a complete 13 chapters tutorial. SMS wanted to post it at their site, but then they realized they don't support Flash.

Poser Pro is for content creators, so you probably don't need the extra features. I haveΒ been using Poser for over 10 years, so I have a lot of practice. ^^Β

You have to find the Poser figure you REALLY like, and then inspiration comes naturally. I started this gallery with only AnimeDoll back in 2005. ^^

ken1171 In reply to mudjai [2015-03-27 17:12:03 +0000 UTC]

The great majority of female characters in my gallery are just Poser models. I didn't model them (I model mostly outfits), I just customized them. They are very versatile, and Poser allows all sorts of customizations. If you want to model your own humans by hand, Poser should be a great way to get started - it won't allow any modeling, but it helps you understand the models much better before you try to create one. ^____^

You just have to find what kind of figure you like first, and then the rest will come together on their own. At least that's how it happened to me.

I made this for Poser 7, but the basics are still the same in all later versions. It covers everything you need to know to get started, to include customizations tips that could be tough to figure out on your own. Let me know how you like it. ^____^

Wow, thanks so much for making this. I don't know the first thing about this kind of stuff but am trying to use human models as references for my art and for several projects that require using the same characters over and over in different poses. As a total noob I've been pulling my hair out for the last 24 hours to find a tutorial that REALLY assumes you don't know anything and uses ONLY Poser. Plus the way you explain everything and the interface are super easy to understand.

You also have a great gallery by the way.
