Me – More Poser Info

Well, to call it a render may not be the right term.

What I did last night was take the default female figure for poser, add some casual clothing, boots, a ring and some nice red hair, then save this combination of items as my Default Girl. That way I can summon up all of those items in one fell swoop later.

Then I made her a walk path and designed a walk for her, with the camera moving to keep a 3/4 down perspective as she walks in a circle. Right now that animation is rendering on my computer at a good quality level. When I get home it should be done, then I’ll toy with making the movie smaller and popping it online.

It’s a basic start. Something relatively easy to do. I’m working up to tampering with keyframe animation where you basically animate key portions of the animation, with the action extrapolated between them. So I might have her standing still at the beginning of the animation, then skip ahead thirty frames to raise her arm. That would be its position on frame 30, which the frames behind thirty automatically set to extrapolate the progression of her arm lifting from frame one position to frame thirty position.

Once I find some more props and toys(like a good background and setting props), I’ll try making scenes and stills. There is a lot to work on. One thing I’d like to do is craft clothing since I don’t know that anyone will have a good dress prop for me to make my Pale Woman(though I did find a good ‘evil queen’ dress that loads up well).

I also have to play with and learn how to use dynamic clothing, which is clothing that acts just like real cloth. Then comes figuring out dynamic hair. I’d like to try and make some curly hair to make an image of a character I play, but it seems a very involved process just to make normal straight hair.

Poser in general is a long, involved process. 😉
