Smith Micro has launched Poser Pro 11, an upgrade of the software for creating realistic 3D characters and scenes. In addition to dozens of new features and usability improvements, it comes with an extensive library of pre-loaded characters and content, including human figures, animals and props.

Poser Pro 11 boasts a new SuperFly rendering engine with GPU-assisted rendering, supported by NVIDIA CUDA parallel computing platform that increases performance. Geometric Edge Lines automatically produce “ink lines” around figures in real-time.

The new version allows you to create precise measurements in a Poser scene. An
Actor Selection History allows you to keep track of recently accessed objects with back and forward buttons. Customizable Tools let you add frequently used objects and parameter dials to custom palettes. 

Content Creation Export saves partial scenes that have been extracted from complex scenes. High Density Display resizes the entire interface with user-adjustable scale settings. With Adaptive Rigging, you can dynamically reset the joint centers on morphed figures, and automatically create the dependent rigs

Poser 3D animation software is available in both professional (Poser Pro 11) and standard (Poser 11) versions. For information about features, pricing, and special version upgrade offers, go to http://poser.smithmicro.com.
