JCH Digital Designs - The JCH Poser Page: 3D Content, Poser Pro, Poser 7, Poser 6, Poser 5, Poser Pro Pack, Poser 11, Lightwave, Models, free downloads, tutorials JCH Digital Designs: The JCH Poser Page Your Online Source for Poser Tutorials Since April 2000, I have been helping people with Poser 4, first with tutorials, then with downloads, and now, with editorial articles. When I recoded the site in November, 2002, I considered writing a new, long-winded introduction welcoming people to the site, then I decided to just move the links closer to the top of the page. As you go through these tutorial pages, keep in mind that they are meant to be used as you are working with Poser (or Photoshop or Lightwave). Unlike some other tutorial sites (where you have to keep clicking a 'Next' button to see the next step or a 'Previous' button to go back), each one of my tutorials is on its own page.
The pages may seem 'text-heavy' at first, but I have designed the pages to be a step-by-step 'how-to' instead of a 'follow these steps and look what you can get.' In fact, you could print the page and use it as you would use a reference book- having it beside you while working in the programs. All the information on this website is completely free to use as you wish, but please give me credit whenever possible. Also, if you start to create your own textures, objects, or projects, please share your ideas with everyone else- after all, that's what the Internet is all about!
Feel free to improvise your own changes. And, if you can make it better, please let me know! All of the tutorials will work in Poser 5 and above, unless noted otherwise. All of the pages are now organized into categories:. 'General': general information. 'Beginner': tutorials for beginners or anyone looking to brush up on their skills.
'Intermediate': these tutorials require a basic knowledge and understanding of Poser. 'Advanced': these tutorials require a more advanced understanding of Poser, and in some cases, additional software programs. Throughout this website, I will be using characters (of my own creation) to help illustrate the tutorials: Sheri Tabby General Beginner. Here are a number of tips, tricks, and other things I've found while using Poser. Some of the tips may seem basic, but hopefully, everyone will learn a little something.

To follow the above tutorials, you should have the following:. Any version of Poser above version 5. For the creation of texture and transparency maps, you will need a layers-capable image-editing program such as Adobe Photoshop or Jasc Paint Shop Pro. (The tutorials use Photoshop because that's the program I am more familiar with- feel free to e-mail me the Paint Shop Pro 'translation'.).
To create texture maps, you'll need UV Mapper (by Steven L. Cox), which can be downloaded (for free) directly from his site: (opens in new window). A text editor to edit cr2, obj, and other files: I recommend. To create 'phi files' (for Poser figure files), you'll need PHI Builder (by Roy Riggs), which can be downloaded (for free) directly from his site: (opens in new window; then scroll down the page). To download any 'finished products' and items on the Goodies Page, you will need an 'unzip' application: WinZip for Windows and Stuffit Expander for the Macintosh.
To view any of the finished movies, you will need a movie player capable of handling '.avi' files. Media Player for Windows and the QuickTime Movie Player for Macintosh should do the job. (Both of these programs are included with the operating system, so you should not need to download them again.). To follow the tutorial on creating your own 3-D objects, you will need a 3-D application capable of exporting files in the '.obj' format. And a special thanks should go to: Ghost Effects, Fractal Design, MetaCreations, Curious Labs, and e-frontier (for their development of the earlier versions of Poser), Zygote Inc. And DAZ Studios (for their work on the advanced Poser models), and, of course, Smith Micro (the current owners and developers of Poser). You can purchase Poser at the (link opens in new window).
