Mousing around
It's easy to become a fan of E frontier's Poser. The 3D figure and animation software is not only low cost, but its ease of use and enthusiastic worldwide user base combine to make it one of the most accessible and popular programs for generating and manipulating the human form. Too bad you're still stuck with that bulky, piece-of-soap-like mouse. In contrast, graphic artists won't part with the wireless pen tablets they moved to some time ago.
3Dconnexion saves the day for those envious Poser animators with its unique SpaceNavigator mouse. The 3D mouse, which is now supported by Poser 7.0.2, works as a companion to a traditional mouse and is controlled with the alternate hand. SpaceNavigator users pull, tilt, or twist the SpaceNavigator device's controller cap to manipulate 3D objects in Poser and rotate camera views. The device's unique two-handed work style helps speed the creative process. www.3dconnexion.com
