Here are the pics I promised, under the cut so as not to annoy others.


As always click on the pics for larger versions.

First Poser:


I like this because it is more "user friendly". The "Transform" menu bar is normally all the way to the right covering most of the "Library" menu bar. I click and switch between them.

Next the Daz Studio interface:


This is not quite as friendly, nor does it have a lot of the features Poser has. I'm sure if you learned on it it would be okay.

Noted. Cool stuff. I'm assuming they probably have tons of free stuff like backgrounds and items out there... I could probably just do stuff a la dewhitton's Bugs just with Poser...

Are there free versions of Poser out there? (Or maybe you could give me what you have...) and do you think it'd be compatable with a other couple programs I was thinking of (povray and moray, I think they're called)...

Certainly would be cool for me to render my own character like you did with yours :) Thanks for the pics.

There are no free versions of Poser, though I found this on e-bay: http://cgi.ebay.com/Poser-6-for-the-PC-FREE-SHIPPING_W0QQitemZ250098940663QQcategoryZ80340QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

It is just one version down from what I'm using. At least you can get an idea of what type of system you need. There is plenty of free stuff for both Poser and Studio (which is free).

As for doing Bugs type stuff, you really need Bryce, or an equivalent program, to get the proper look, however Poser will allow you to do some basic things.

I'm not sure about Poser being compatible with moray or povray, though poser can export to different file format.
If you can make it to the Kid's Expo in Poughkeepsie on April 15th I can show you more on my laptop.

o.O Poughkeepsie. Remind me a week or so before the Expo, I might be able to drop in and meet you in person and you can render my character for me maybe :P

I never buy stuff from EBay as a rule. I have a hard enough time controlling my finances as it is without EBay to steal my soul on top of it.

*looks at the specs* I barely meet the requirements, it looks like...

there was a free version of poser out by the main company but that was mostly to get people to buy the next version, that special ended months ago sadly :(
