The most exciting piece of design software this Christmas has to be Poser 4.3 from Curious Labs.
Designed as a multi-platform (Windows and Mac) tool to create character animations and three-dimensional figures, Poser is simple to use and great fun to play with.
Features include more than 40 high-resolution 3D figures, a clothing collection, props, character libraries, body and hand gestures, cameras, lights and facial expressions.
It even has an automatic 'walk designer' that can reproduce running, walking and strutting.
Uses for Poser include creating an animated actor to tell a story or appear as part of an animated comic book.
Figures can be transformed into muscle-bound super heroes, giving a wealth of new and exciting characters to experiment with.
Poser is definitely not a pocket money product.
With a high price tag, it is aimed at the professional market and offers all the high level features a professional user might expect.
