Poser includes a rich gallery of ready-to-use 3D character models, poses, fully-articulated hands, and props. Use Poser figures as digital mannequins or digital puppets to achieve the results you crave.

Lights, Camera, Action!
Multiple light sources cast highlight and shadow detail. Animate the camera focal length, scale and position for that broadcast feeling. Choreograph you project with easy-to-use animation controls - Simply create a sequence of positions, and Poser animates your figures between poses. Finesse the subtleties with shadowing, spherical light controls, camera point-at features and more.
