What our customer's say!

"Perfect for beginners!", Having purchased Poser 7 and wanting to find the easiest way to learn this massive program I bought this book hoping it would be good. Mr. Murdock has written easy to follow instructions that take you from introduction to the controls through rendering, using other software with Poser, and beyond. It has concise lessons with projects and reviews to help you practice what you are learning and make it easier to remember.
This was precisely what I needed and it is going to be my #1 reference for Poser. I couldn't have asked for more.

"Just use the online reference guide!", Disappointed. The book really is really no better than the online reference, which comes with the software. If you are wanting to learn Poser, skip this and buy something else.

"Great, Helpful book", This book has taught me a lot that I didn't know was possible with Poser. It went into pretty good depth and I can't seem to tear myself away from it - I'm always going back to the book to read up on the other possibilities with Poser, and every time I go back to the book for more information, it feels like christmas :D

I am really enyoing this book.


Warmest Regards,

"Enjoy colors and resolution", The technical content of the book is quite worth the buy, but I am not giving a score greater than "average" since:
1- the pictures within the book are all greyscale
2- the resolution of the pictures is so low that whenever the text points to such pictures it seems to me more like a sadistic joke rather useful information

"Perfect handy reference for the Poser 7 software", My first reaction to this book was that it wouldn't be very helpful in learning Poser because it did not contain any project-based tutorials. However as this book found a permanent place on my reference shelf, I quickly realized that I was wrong. As I worked through several project-based Poser tutorials from the web, I found myself frequently referencing back to this Poser 7 Revealed book to better understand how to use a specific tool or technique needed for the tutorial. The basic concept behind the Revealed book series is to supply simple explanations for each feature of a software and also give supporting exercises to reinforce what you have just learned. Although you will not create a finished project from this book, Kelly L. Murdock has written the perfect handy reference for the Poser 7 software by e frontier, Inc.

Murdock begins with an overview of the Poser 7 interface and introduces each major set of tools found in the Poser Rooms. He covers the Poser Libraries and then moves on to the basics such as posing figures, working with props, cameras, lighting, materials and building a Poser scene. With that background covered, he then discusses more advanced topics such as adding dynamic hair and clothes to your figure and creating facial expressions.

Posing your figure is only part of what can be accomplished with the Poser software. Murdock covers morphing and rigging your Poser figures for animation and shows how lip syncing is made easy with the Poser Talk Designer Interface. Lastly, he discusses rendering Poser scenes, using Poser with other software and writing Python scripts.

Although the book does not contain a CD, you can download from the publisher's website the supporting Poser files needed for demonstrating the more complex Poser techniques. Throughout the book, Murdock has added helpful comments and tips.

Kelly L Murdock has worked in the area of computer graphics for many years and has authored several books including 3ds max Bible, Illustrator Bible, Adobe Creative Suite Bible, Maya 7 Revealed, LightWave 3D 8 Revealed and Poser 6 Revealed.
