Geared toward a multitude of production environments in both the 2D and 3D realms, Poser Pro offers the features and functionality of Poser 7, plus professional level application integration, a 64 bit render engine, and network rendering support.
"We're fortunate to have a large and loyal user base that relies on Poser for the most realistic figure content and creation tools available," said Steve Yatson, vice president of marketing at e frontier. "Poser Pro provides the functionality our production-based users have been asking for, and offers our existing customers increased render capabilities that will save them a great deal of time."
