Poser Pro is a full featured character animation system enabling keyframe creation for every scene asset and parameter. | 
Use the Walk Designer to easily blend and create walk cycles. | - Network Rendering
Save time and cut production costs with the Network Render Queue. Set up a cross platform rendering network, distribute rendering jobs across that network, and manage those rendering jobs to suit your schedule. With the Queue Manager, distributed renderings can be paused and resumed, or fully rendered on slave machines so you can keep working in Poser Pro on your master machine. The Network Render Queue distributes rendering jobs across as many networked machines as permitted by your license.
- Background Rendering
Increase personal productivity with background rendering in Poser Pro. Work on Poser scenes in the foreground, while rendering time consuming still frame images with the Firefly render engine in the background. Background rendering allows you to open and close other scene files, save your project, and continue working to maximize your production time. As well, with the Queue Manager, render Poser Pro files in the background or overnight.
- 64-Bit Render Engine
Poser Pro takes advantage of high performance 64-Bit multi-processor systems with the new 64-Bit Firefly Render Engine. Firefly efficiently uses all available system memory to render even the most complex scene files in the shortest possible time. Distribute 64-Bit rendering jobs via the Network Render Queue for even greater time savings. The Firefly Render Engine also supports multiple processors on 32-Bit systems.
Included Content
Poser Pro unveils an innovative concept providing four new human characters that can be modified and re-distributed. In addition, content libraries are also stocked with over 2500 items, all ready to drop into your scene, including the legacy content from both Poser 6 and Poser 7. - New Distributable Content
Poser Pro comes with a set of re-distributable 3D characters to help users save production time. As a starting point for creating real-time 3D or game characters, modify these fully-rigged humans in the face room, deform them and create morphs, build animations, then plug them into your development project.
- Legacy Content
Poser Pro includes content shipped from previous versions of Poser including Poser 7. That's a library offering over 2500 fully textured high resolution male and female figures, children, animals, cartoons, robots, and more. Hundreds of poses, facial expressions, full body morphs, hair, clothing, light sets, props, and new sound and motion files are also included. In all that's over 2 GB of content.
Enhanced Image Control
Gamma Correction lets you specify gamma and apply those values to textures and exported images for linear rendering with increased luminance accuracy. This means, what you see on-screen is what you'll get in your final output. For vivid, life-like images with the full range of brightness detail and shadow depth Poser Pro optimizes renders for High Dynamic Range (HDR) output. HDR images can be exported in Radiance (.hdr) or OpenEXR (.exr) format for full control over the luminosity, opacity and reflectance range of your work. HDR output supports precision and flexibility in post production. - Gamma Correction/Linear Rendering
Poser Pro Gamma Correction let users specify gamma values for each individual texture, as well as specifying the gamma values that will be applied to rendered images. This allows you to perform linear rendering for increased luminance accuracy. Poser Pro Gamma Correction gives you the confidence that what you see is what you'll get because input and output data will comply with your selected gamma values.
- HDRI export
Create vivid, life-like images with HDRI output. High Dynamic Range images accurately represent a full range of intensity levels as found in real world scenes, ranging from the brightest sunlight to deepest shadows. Poser Pro rendered images can be exported in Radiance (.hdr) or OpenEXR (.exr) format giving you greater control over the luminosity, opacity and reflectance range of your work. With HDRI optimized output, you can take advantage of the extra precision, and flexibility in post production that standard image formats don't support.

When I heard that a company with a techie name like Smith Micro was buying Poser, I hoped that what had been a fun, but fragmented program might at last be in good hands. No such luck. As noted in the title, Smith Micro does not bring much technology to the Poser table. It basically adds network rendering, which was needed, but at a hefty price, especially for those of us in the Art community who never intended to use Poser with a high end program like Maya. As noted in another review, they haven't ... Read More
Rating: -
Poser Pro is fairly stable by itself (a bit better than Poser 7) but still slow in rendering and without any significant change in its dated user interface. The collada export, which was widely advertised for its integration with XSI etc. is buggy and crippled. The tutorial on collada export to XSI, for instance, works for non animated models, but if one selects to export the skeleton (bones), it will not import correctly in XSI 6 or 6.5. It also won't work with Maya 2008. The native plugins work for ... Read More
