Poser 5 for Windows Visual Quickstart Guide

Curious Labs' figure-modeling tool Poser 5 represents a bit of a conundrum: It's priced to appeal to hobbyists, but its increasingly powerful tool set and unusual interface make it difficult for nonprofessional users to employ effectively--especially if you don't have experience in 3D modeling. Enter Poser 5 for Windows and Macintosh: Visual QuickStart Guide. Veteran author Mick McAllister knows first hand the frustrations and joys of embracing the program without a background in graphic design, and has written a straightforward, jargon-free volume that will have even the most inexperienced users creating lifelike 3D models in no time. This task-based, amply illustrated volume leads readers through Poser's entire design and development process--beginning with the basics (like working with the interface) and then moving on to more advanced topics (like Poser 5's Dynamic Cloth and Dynamic Hair features). For anyone who wants to get the most out of Poser 5--from absolute beginners to more advanced users who need to get up to speed quickly on Poser 5's new features.McAllister, Mick is the author of 'Poser 5 for Windows Visual Quickstart Guide' with ISBN 9780321186478 and ISBN 0321186478.
