Course Description:Poser Advanced - Sharren
Graham
$25.00
This course will teach you more in-depth lessons of using Poser. Poser is a 3D rendering software package for the posing, animating and rendering of 3D polymesh human and animal figures. Poser can look so daunting when you first open the program but, once one learns the basics and fundamentals that are there at our fingertips. The possibilities that open up to you once you understand how to use it to it's full potential are restricted only by your imagination.
One of the most intriguing things I have found with all art
forms is that one never stops learning, and the most beautiful
and satisfying thing is that it alllows expressions of
ourselves.
During the next six weeks we will be creating scenes of different themes, exploring and working with various tools, including lights and cameras to create them. In this Advanced Course we will also be creating postwork
in a 2D program.
