Smith Micro Ships Poser 9 and Poser Pro 2012
Poser Pro 2012′s new vertex weight map editing tools in action.
Smith Micro has unveiled Poser 9 and Poser Pro 2012 at Siggraph 2011.
Like DAZ Studio 4 earlier this year, both versions of the popular figure design and animation software gain support for weight maps, along with an extensive weight painting toolset in the Pro edition.
Both new releases will also see a number of display and rendering improvements, including support for subsurface scattering and an updated OpenGL display.
The OpenGL preview now supports real-time soft shadows, ambient occlusion and normal mapping and offers “a very clean, realistic representation of your figure”, according to 3D World, who were given a demo at the show.
Poser 9 and Poser Pro 2012 are due for release at the end of September, and will be available to pre-order from 17 August.
Updated 20 September: Both Poser 9 and 2012 are now shipping. Poser 9 is available at a launch price of $199.99 (down from an RRP of $249.99) while Poser Pro 2012 costs $399.99 (down from $499.99).

not sure what brand I used off hand, might have been Canson? or Beinfang? anyway, vellum is smoother than trace – almost an oily feeling – the graphite really sits on the surface and moves around. The slightest touch will smudge! Which I think is a good thing – you can use that for your own purposes…giving lines a glow, creating soft shadows. Also, because no tooth, you can lift out with a kneaded eraser – pulling clean sharp highlights out of tones…very flexible that way. Trace is great, and I like it a lot – its cheaper! but it grabs the pencil tip slightly -its not quite as smooth a flowing line…not that this really your drawings, just this subtle feeling of the gliding pen tip…]]>
