New Video using Poser 7, and Some Poser Pro info.
This video was sent to me by a graduate Student named Francis Yim. I think he did some interesting work here. I get a lot of still imagery sent to me but very few vids. If you have one feel free to link it in a comment and I'll take a look. I hope to get a user story from Francis in the near future. Unfortunately it's only available on his site so you have to click through.
Ok More Poser Pro Info:
I'd like to see Poser Pro used more for animating and I'm hoping that some of the Render features will help. I'll try to address the questions in previous comments. What I can say right now is that background rendering is cool as you can work with the app as you are rendering. That's the first thing. What will happen when you are on multiple machines is that each machine, regardless of the number of processors can render a frame with all of those processors. That's considered a single node. When finished with that frame it will then move on to the next available frame in the queue until all frames are rendered.
Cheers

Feeed-mE! 
Ok,
so now that another company has acquired the Poser software, I'm noticing that Lightwave isn't listed in their host programs listing...I'm referring to the PDF that gives us the skinny on the new PRO Edition.
First a huge price hike...
then the dropping of Lightwave...
leaves me thinking that we're (my group) is going to be using version 7 forever now.
Or am I wrong?
I mean, we're not paying out nearly 500 bucks for another rendition of "looksie what Max and Maya get".
Here is a video I did in Poser 6 for a video content. The contest itself kind of fell apart, and there were never any winners announced, but I though the video turned out pretty good any way. You can DL it at:

As for Poser getting acquired by SMS, lets just say I'm on the fence about this. Poser is great for posing and animation, but the firefly render engine leaves a lot to be desired.
I still use Poser 7 for people, but pretty much everything else I do in Vue, including rendering. I will say that if SMS raises the price of Poser, I won't upgrade. However, I would upgrade to Poser Pro if the price were competitive, or if I could just download the network renderer. For small animations, its kind of a paint to have to monkey around with switching applications.
Cheers,
Mark
