 The
very first one I did ...
I threw a demo animation together in an evening
so you could see for yourself that it works and looks good. Please
excuse my bogus lighting, textures and camera work - this demo is meant
to show that the Poser import works, not that I'm a great animator ;-)
Note;
the way he twists his head around at the end is my fault - I wasn't checking
to make sure I set him up right in Poser. This is not a bug in PAIS.
Actually it's kind of funny in a macabre sort of way ;-)
The animation is a 2.1Mb Quicktime/Sorenson movie ... if you can't be
bothered downloading it, just enjoy these stills .. or click on any of
the stills to see the movie. |
 The
talking heads
This second animation shows not only how facial animation is faithfully
imported, but also that you don't have to import entire bodies - in this
case, only the heads were imported!. Click on the picture
to see the animation (1056k Quicktime/sorenson). This movie took
less
than an hour to create in Poser and move to Cinema 4D, including texturing
and lighting! (Rendering took another hour, but it would have no
matter how I created the animation, so it's not really relevant here).
Again, I did not spend a lot of time making the facial expressions match
the dialog or anything - I just used Lipsinc Mimic to create the animation
- this is just to show that it works. |
 The
Haunted House
The haunted house itself is from the tutorial by
Maxon. The boy, skeleton and dog
are all standard Poser 4 models. If you're wondering why the boy
moves so strangely, I wanted him to appear to be a zombie/mutant stitched
together from odd parts ... I don't think it worked, oh well.
This animation (1Mb Quicktime/sorenson) really
starts to show why PAIS is so useful - the volumetric lights really add
something to this scene, and as the characters move in front of them they
break the light beams - something you could never do, or fake, with Poser. |
