Poser 9/2012 SR2 patch - new details
Smith Micro have today announced some details of the Service Release 2 patch for Poser 9 and Poser Pro 2012…
“The SR2 update for Poser will enable export of bump and normal maps in Photoshop compatible fashion.”
This will enable you to export a character in the Collada .dae format, and then have it load up in Photoshop CS6 Extended with all materials properly applied and with no additional need for tweaking…
“The model comes in [to Photoshop] perfectly, with all normal map detail preserved, ready to use in your illustration.”
I’m guessing this feature may also extend to other external load-and-illustrate packages, such as Keyshot?
They’re also going to support the coming wave of 3D in Web browsers, which will work without the need for plugins (Google Chrome now natively supports full-blown 3D games, without the need for Flash or other pernickety plugins)…
“[get] animated 3D characters from Poser into WebGL-enabled browsers like Chrome”
