Poser 12 for 22.95€. Is it an useful tool?

Hi!

I just came across this offer for Poser 12:

Do you know if it is useful for 3d scanning? For that price it is a steal.

BTW, the page is 100% legal

I don’t know what you mean by useful for 3D scanning … this software have no tools of any kind for 3D scanning/editing unless you plan to render things in it but there are free software that are better . This software is for animating figures/characters not scans . and uses Cycles render engine as Blender but old version so not as efficient . This software was good in 1998 for animating characters … but the golden times are long over …

P.S I am not sure if that website is legit , what they wrote is a lie " Pay $25 or more. Normally, the total cost for the software in this bundle is as much as **$1,249.
Not true this software normally cost $100-200 at max and belongs to Bondware

If I knew the answer probably I would not be asking here :laughing:

So, in short, your answer is NO.

Thanx!

Incorrect.

You can pay the minimum amount, the rest is voluntary, and It is a donation to the institution mentioned in the description. This is clearly stated if you read carefully

Please do not spread false information

I know the real owner of this software Roberto…

It is not only the SW, it is the SW + additional content:

If the content is really worth that price… That cannot tell you

The whole software ( the latest Poser 13 ) with the content normally costs $ 249.95 , version 12 is no more sold on the official website .

the content they show on the page is from 20 years ago and I actually owned it back then .

The official website is at Poser - 3D Rendering & Animation Software

and they selling the newest version for $249.95 with content together … I sent actually email just now to the original owner of the software what is Bondware .

Hi Roberto , I just got reply from the original software owner , the stores are legit they are resellers .
