However, the update doesn't add native support for DAZ 3D's Genesis 3 figures – a common user request when Smith Micro previewed the new features in Poser 11 on its blog earlier this year. In addition, there are new stock human figures – or a new stock female figure, at least.Īccording to a forum post from product manager Charles Taylor, while Poser 11 Pro includes Pauline, her male counterpart Paul 'missed the boat for launch day' and will be provided as a free update in 'a few weeks'. The GUI has also been updated to scale better to modern high-density displays. There are also a number of workflow improvements, including a selection history stack for the objects in a scene and the option to customise keyboard shortcuts or create custom palettes for common parameters.

In addition, the previously rather limited toon-shaded Comic Book Preview mode added in Poser 10 gets a Geometric Edge Lines option to generate adjustable 'ink' outlines round figures. Smith Micro describes the new release as adding support for area lights, caustics, volumetrics and layered materials – presumably also as a result of the new engine.

The new engine enables users to create physically based renders directly inside Poser, instead of relying on plugins like Prêt-à-3D's Reality, or exporting assets to standalone renderers. The biggest change common to both versions of the software is the new SuperFly rendering engine: a GPU-accelerated renderer based on Blender's Cycles engine. New in Poser 11: SuperFly render engine, better toon shading Smith Micro has released Poser 11 and Poser Pro 11, the latest updates to its veteran figure-posing and animation software, adding a new physically based render engine and improvements to toon rendering.
