What our customer's say!

"Goes Far Beyond The Manuals", I avoid buying software books because many of my past purchases were a complete waste of money. The authors rehash the software's free manuals and provide explanations and tutorials so basic that it seems their target reader is somebody who bought their first PC just last week.

Based on strong reviews, I took a chance and bought Practical Poser 6. I'm not going to cover the content, which is already described very thoroughly in other reviews here. I'll just say that if you have tried to use Poser without any tutorial or learning aids, this book is for you. I had a copy of Poser 5 and had just bought Poser 6 a few weeks before getting this book. My measure of a good instructional book is how much it taught me that I didn't know already. I estimate 50-60% of this book contains info that I'd only have learned by painful trial-and-error, and was really useful to me. And this is not to say that it's for experienced users only -- whether you're just starting out with Poser or already have a few years of experience, there's some explanations, tips and general good reading in this book for you. Highly recommended!


"Very much worth the price!", This book has become one of my references for Poser 6. It's clearly written and covers topics from basic to advanced. I recommend this book for anyone learning or using Poser 6!

"Getting to know Poser 6", I found Practical Poser 6 a valuable training tutorial into the world of 3D graphics. Not only did it explain the functions and usages of Poser 6 in understandable terms, it illustrated examples in easy to follow, step-by-step instructions. This book is a recommended must-have for individuals who are thinking about entering the realm of 3D graphics or serious artists who want to refine their technique and squeeze a little more 'mileage' from their programs. A first-rate, well written book in it's field.

"Casi...", No obtiene la quinta estrella por no hacer referencia alguna al manejo de los archivos BVH. Por lo demás, genial!

"Practical Poser 6", It was very easy to follow and made it easy to learn Poser 6.

"Poser 6 DAZ 3D Studio", Okay. I'll admit it. I liked DAZ Studio a lot more than Poser 6 till this book came out. And I spent my cash on Poser 6 and DAZ Studio is free. But...With this book I'm now relatively happy that I have Poser 6. It's a great read. I don't know who did the editing but, GREAT job. AND I haven't even cracked open the CD yet! It's answering all those pesky new user "How do I fix this?" questions....The FAQs in the back are wonderful. For me, as a relatively novice user, this is the perfect addition to Poser 6.

"A Poser User MUST HAVE", Starting in Poser 4 and learning most things the hard way kind of scared me when I upgraded to Poser 6. I was lucky enough to stumble across this book and it is a MUST HAVE for ANY Poser owner. The information within this book isn't some mumble jumble so technically written that you need another book to understand whats being taught. I cherish my copy of Practical Poser and have gone on to do so many more things within Poser since my purchase. If you are new, or old to Poser and want to learn a few new tricks or polish some tricks you already know, then this book is for you. Forget the "manual" types of books that you have read in the past, as this one reads like a novel and leads you step by step into the awesome world of the hidden features and secrets to Poser 6. This reference should be on the desk or library shelf of ANY Poser user because it has invaluable information within it's pages. I couldn't be happier with it. As an added note, the items on the disk make buying the book well worth the price. If you don't already have it... get it - you won't regret your purchase !

"These people know what they are doing and how to write about it", This book is listed as a beginning to intermediate level book. I think it's actually a little higher than that. It presumes that you have at least reviewed the Reference Manual, and hopefully worked through the Tutorial Manual. This is a tutorial style book. It takes you through a series of steps that will teach you more about the design of a person than you imagined.

After going through this book, I'm not going to say that the people making the next Harry Potter movie will jump at the chance to hire you, but I will say that you'll know a hell of a lot more about the computer creation of characters than you did when you started.

The key is to make characters look real. And here the authors point out little things like what do the fingers do in the hand that isn't reaching for something. And how do you make the torso bend with the body so that it looks real.

All in all, quite an exceptional book that I highly recommend. These people know what they are doing and know how to write about it.

"Creating Your Own 3D Characters", You can't find a movie these days that doesn't have at least one animated character in it and with each new movie these characters become more and more realistic. Have you ever wanted to try your hand at creating your own 3D characters? Well, now you can with this book and the Poser 6 software from e frontier, Inc.

Poser is a robust program but in this book Denise Tyler and Audre Vysniauskas have you creating your own 3D human and nonhuman characters in no time. Based on user input from the Poser community, this book answers the most common questions and the tutorials will show you the secrets of 3D character design.

The authors cover each feature of the Poser program starting with the easy techniques and working up to more advanced techniques. You will learn all about the Poser interface, rooms and libraries and you will quickly be building scenes and controlling cameras and lighting. You will learn how to work with the face morphing features in the Poser Face Room and with dynamic hair in the Hair Room. Of course, you aren't limited to human hair. You can create your own version of a human, animal or combination. Assuming your character is not distend for an X-rated future, you will want to add some Poser clothing. In fact, creating Poser clothing is one of the most requested help topics and the authors cover various aspects such as how to design a garment that responds realistically when your character moves. Speaking of realism, the authors show you their secrets to achieving photo realism with texture and lighting. By the time you reach to last few chapters, you are ready for advanced techniques such as UV mapping, preparing and importing your own objects into the Poser libraries, the FireFly rendering system and post production enhancements. The accompanying CD has all the demos and files needed to complete the tutorials and there is a Q & A section for those quick answers.

Audre Vysniauskas has contributed to many digital imaging books, conferences and magazine articles. Denise Tyler has written several books on computer graphics and web development.

"Great at what it covers, but lacking animation tutorials.", This book is great at covering creating, modifying, posing and texturing characters. My only complaint is that it does not cover animation techniques. In any case, it is well worth the price and I hope future editions will cover animation more.
