The Pros and Cons of the Best Software for Animation
Sunday, April 24, 2011 2:52:18 PM
I have noticed the rise of the Digital Animation. Their developments are tremendous as well especially in the past decades. Some sets of software are being developed, improved and innovated day after day in order to match the ever shifting preference of the designers and consumers. Nevertheless, the demand for this kind of product is not declining at all. As a matter of fact, new products have been developed recently which I will enumerate below. The use of any software application created solely for the production of animation has a certain difficulty in it. For example, Autodesk’s world renowned softwares like Maya, 3ds Max, or even 3ds Max Designs, has a certain difficulty in terms of usability. All the tools one must pull up can be confusing and un-enticing to the weak-hearted that one tend to resort in not using the application, putting their dreams in a making an animated movie or even an animated short-clip aside. One of the largest companies in the animation world was able to see this as a problem and immediately developed a way to resolve it. Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you: Smith Micro’s Poser Debut. Poser Debut is a toned down version of the original Poser (a strong contender for the best animation software ever created). Smith Micro aims to make 3D animation easy and accessible for all and that they have high hopes that Poser Debut will do the job. Tagged as a consumer-grade video editing software, its sole purpose is to allow and entice amateurs to produce and direct films and revel in the wonders of 3D animation.
This highly regarded and unconventional software allows consumers to create and manipulate 3D figures ranging from realistic human beings to animals, aliens, monsters, and other otherworldly beings. Equipped with a playful imagination, the possibility to create another being out of this software is limitless. The best part of it is its user-friendly feature. As mentioned, the Poser Debut is a toned down version of the highly elaborate Poser, so by deducting the complexity, the developers were able to create easy-to-use 3D-scene creation tools that prevents confusion when at the disposal of an inexperienced animator. The software already comes with 2GB of content that includes more than 70 ready-to-pose characters with a vast array of clothing, props, cameras, and lights that makes it quite easy to quickly create an entire scene in the virtual world. With the simple click-and-drag posing and drag-and-drop item arrangement, using Poser Debut will be like a walk-in-the-park!
