Subtitles of the Movie

Poser allows you to modify your figures so that you can super deform them if you want to and that's a term that is typically applied to the Japanese style of characters where there are pretty big heads, pretty big eyes and little squat bodies. You may have seen super deformed versions of popular characters like Godzilla, or Mobile Suit Gundam, or anything like that that's based on some kind of cartoon or anime, or even Manga from Japan. It's a very popular format and if you go to Renderosity, or Smith Micro's website, or any of the other pose websites, you'll find examples of that, especially at Runtime DNA and the people will take their time and modify the character in some fashion. For example, I'll go ahead and click on the character's head here and I will go to his Parameter Dials and scale it up pretty big like so and I'll also grab the chest and I'll do the same thing and once again guys, I'm using the Wacom Tablet and it's not exactly super responsive at times, so when I click on things I kind of get a bend and I just Undo to go back. So, let's say I want to save this figure, alright. It's just a really big-headed Andy and I like this a lot so I want to save this to the Library. What I'm going to do is I'm going to create a brand new folder. So I'm in my Figures category in my Library and as you can see I have the Poser folders open and I can click on the top folder if I want to and click right here on this little Plus symbol to add this guy to the Library. So, first of all I'll create a new folder. I'll click here and I'll just call it Super Deformed, click OK and then I'll twirl this open and I'll see if I could find that folder and there it is, my new folder. I'll click on that folder to select it and as you can see it's currently empty. See that? Empty. So this is selected, you see the blue line there, I'll click the Plus sign and I'll call it Andy SD for super deformed and I'll click OK. And just like when you open up any other character in the Library if I click on my Andy SD one time I'll get a preview based on my camera angle - so check that out. Let me move this over just a tad so I can scroll. There we go. Notice that my camera angle is this way and that's exactly what I'm seeing. So it's a really easy way to add your own customized figures to the Poser Library inside a folder that you create, as well. If you want to delete this figure, click on this symbol to Delete from the Library and that's really all there is to it.
