Shockwave3D Exporter

During my internship at Curious Labs I wrote the Shockwave3D Exporter for Poser 4 Pro Pack. Shockwave3D is a new format by Macromedia and Intel that allows you to use real 3D content in Director applications. My exporter is written on the Python API of Poser and is available for download at Egisys and Curious Labs. You can see one example export here (requires Shockwave plugin).

Depth of field

Here are two things dealing with depth of field in Poser: One small tutorial with a script for Poser 5, one small tutorial for creating a depth of field effect in post for Poser 4 and 5.

Tron animation

I recreated a shot from the Disney movie "Tron" for a course at college. Here's the result (750kB DivX5 encoded AVI). Rendered in Poser 5 with the FireFly renderer, using displacement, raytracing, depth of field and motion blur.

Python scripts

I just uploaded this little script for Poser 4 Pro Pack. Download it from here (Windows users, make sure that it gets saved with a .py ending and not with .txt) and run it with "File/Run Python Script...". From now on, the figure's feet will never go below the ground (y=0), which is useful for animators. Make sure you have IK enabled for both feet.

Bug Figure

I made this figure (240KB zip compressed pz3) when learning 3D Studio Max and it was the first model I ever imported to Poser and put bones in. However, it is a really bad model. The mesh is broken, the number of plolygons is not balanced, the joints are not perfect and textures are missing. Furthermore, this is a .pz3 and not a .cr2. I know, I should make a cr2 and zip it, but...whatever. Feel free to play with it.

Dog Animation

When playing with Cinema4D, I came up with this cute pet (7.5MB AVI/Indeo). Unfortunately, I lost all the files I had except this movie clip, so it never learnt to walk or was imported into Poser.
