Creating 3D images has become easier throughout the years because of the increase in the number of products out there made specifically for creating 3D scenes. There are difficulties and challenges. To really bring these scenes to life, you need people to populate the image and that is where the real problem is. Not only to populate, but to animate the human figure, and make it look real is the toughest challenge of all.
Poser is a tool for creating, and animating human, and animal figures. Poser 7 is the latest version of e frontier's 3D figure design and animation solution. It is capable of customizing figures and scenes by mapping facial photos to create realistic 3D portraits. It can create both stills, and animations, create output movies, and images for use in web, print, and video projects. You can also export your creations for use in other applications.

Poser runs on Windows (2000 or greater), or Mac (OS X 10.3.9 or 10.4) with 700 MHz (1 GHz or faster recommended), 512 MB RAM (768 or more recommended), OpenGL enabled graphics card (Recent NVIDIA GeForce and ATI Radeon preferred), and 1 GB free hard-disk space (4 GB recommended). Version 7 now offers native Intel Macintosh Support as well.
