Poser
*****
Poser is a program by Fractal Designs. What it can be used for is well very amazing! Its an older program (1997) and since then has grown to have 2 sequels, each one becoming better and better. So what does it do? Its a human render program which mean if you are not that great at designing enemy sets from scratch this will save you by 75% of the work you have to do. Just design clothing and add them to a female or male body, add in your guns and ect, and your ready to go! I use PSP5 to add in eyes and weapons and ect. Its a great program and I love it, with out it, I'd be stuck drawing 60 poses for human characters. You can't go wrong with Fractal poser!
