I was amazed at how much more I could do after watching the video. An hour later, I had the figure in a passable classic fencer’s pose and was beginning to understand the controls. The amazing thing is that it really is fun, not quite that easy, but very fun.Īs you might expect, I started trying to play with it before watching the videos.

Watching their artist create scenes, objects and characters looks really simple. To entice you they offer many video lessons on using Poser. Smith Micro wants you to use their software.

You get enough of the characters and props to create animated scenes but get so much more with the full program. Like the other programs, Poser Debut is a stripped down version of their Poser program. As you get better you can even create your own objects. Poser allows you to take and animate prebuilt 3D models. While I was looking at Smith Micro’s website, I stumbled across Poser Debut. Great programs but not what I was looking for.

Smith Micro has taken their professional graphics programs, stripped out some of the more powerful aspects and provided amateurs like myself with more than enough capability to do a complete project and decide if we want to go farther. I first tried Smith Micro’s Anime Debut and their Manga Debut. By the time I finished I had over 12 hours invested in a single picture that you can barely make out the details.Įnter Poser Debut. I finally decided modifying some clip art was the best choice. This really came to a head when I was trying to find a picture for the Surviving an Engineering Presentation post. I struggled to come up with a good picture for my Too Good for Your Career post and still feel that the graphic I used was weak at best. It was obvious what pictures to use in my greenhouse post. I’m trying to convey my message in a cute graphic that, hopefully, ties to my message and inspires you to read the rest of the post. I’m not an artist, I’m an engineerĪdmitting this handicap, it’s not a surprise I struggle for hours when I create the graphics for a post.

It’s not that I felt the intense detail was necessary, I just could not see how to convey the idea of a belt buckle without going into the details of the buckle (the dime is for scale). I spent a lot of time with a single hair brush trying to paint in detail.

I had a huge collection of paints and some very small brushes. When I was younger I used to paint miniature lead figures.

To me this is an amazing feat of communication. A small black blob in a tree, a curved V in the sky or actual detail as the observer might perceive it. An artist will look at a scene, assess how much of the bird is actually visible and draw just enough to give the impression of a bird. I break the feathers and eyes down to the individual elements and start thinking about how to represent these elements. If I want to represent a bird in a picture I immediately think of feathers, beak, eyes and wings. As a engineer I’ve always been impressed by an artist’s ability to convey a message using a minimum of information. I think Smith Micro has a real hit with Poser Debut.
