Every artist has a story to tell. Whether you’re creating a portrait, a graphic novel or an animated feature, Poser has the tools and content to start telling your story today.

Poser delivers the power to portray human diversity, form and expression. Design with the human form for art, illustration, animation, comics, web, print, education, medical visualization, games, storyboarding, pre-visualization and more! Design your 3D world with gigabytes of included content. Set the scene with real-world props! Populate and animate scenes with ready-to-pose, fully textured animals and humans. Start making 3D art and animation in minutes.

Human and animal models are included to help you start creating immediately. Click-and-drag to sculpt faces, pose body parts, or create various ethnic varieties. For those who require finer control, facial expression morphs, and bone rigging are available for any figure. All features and models are provided in a natural 3D environment for realistic depth, lighting and shadowing on any figure in any pose. Quickly and easily create shape variations with Poser’s brush based morphing tools.

Powerful lighting and rendering tools deliver high-quality artistic effects. Create renders with natural lighting, shadows, subsurface scattering for realistic looking skin, caustics and volumetrics for smoke, fog and cloud effects. Customize your final output in many styles, including photo-realism, sketch, cartoon, silhouette, real-time comic book mode and more.

Animation tools help you create stunning, realistic animations without much of the repetitive work involved in animating figures. Poser includes automatic keyframe creation, non-linear animation, lip-syncing and a walk simulator to simplify the animation process.

Dynamic props and bullet physics move with your figure and add realism, bounce and jiggle to your animations. Clothing, table cloth, curtains drape and deform just as they do in real-life.
With all the included content, easy to use features and a huge community of users, you'll be able to bring your story to life on the first day.
