Art Speaks: A Posers Guide to the Gallery

As an example, Tomasz cites his celebrated design for Oblivion showing Tom Cruise against a ruined bridge. At its core, a movie poster consists of the key imagery, the title and tagline, and the billing block. The big question is how to arrange them.
More significantly, there is Curve-Based Design, discussed in more detail in the next tip, which provides a set of readymade templates for organizing imagery. Next, there is Word-Based Design, with imagery suggested by key words generated by the studio or marketing agency; and most complex of all, there is Metaphor-Based Design, in which a visual metaphor represents the key theme of the movie: The curves show the outline of the key imagery; the rectangles the position of the key text.
Unlike conventional posters, images in Netflix listings have to work in a horizontal format without overshadowing those to either side in color or contrast: Alongside Photoshop, and Illustrator for creating vector logos, Tomasz describes the key software tools of poster design as Maya for games projects, and 3ds Max and Cinema 4D for movie projects — the latter for its ease of use and ability to generate large renders quickly. As an example, Tomasz cites his poster for Oblivion: Tomasz describes the process of finding source photos for posters as a case of feast or famine.
15 Things You Need To Know To Design Hollywood Movie Posters
Any stock assets used in the poster have to be licensed, so most are sourced from large online libraries like iStock and Shutterstock. Rather than using images in their entirety, Tomasz advises breaking them down into modular components, from individual objects in the photo to details like reflections in windows.
But if poster design makes extensive use of layers, it makes little or no use of third-party tools. For the same reason, Tomasz makes little use of Photoshop filters beyond simple Blur and Sharpen operations, and always creates cut-outs by hand. Be prepared to make friends with the Pen tool. Poser software is greatly underrated.
19 tips for great Poser art | Creative Bloq
With version 11, its PBR Superfly engine enables it to create tremendous realism across a wide range of areas of 3D art , rendering directly in-program without the need to rely on exporting, third-party plugins, or integrating into high-end programs for materials and lighting that obey physically correct laws. As with any tool, with great power often comes a bewildering range of options, parameters and tweaks that can quickly overwhelm even experienced users. That's why we've compiled this list of 19 tips for using Poser that will help take your renders to the next level. Noise in the light or shadows or on reflective surfaces may simply be the result of insufficiently high pixel samples in your Superfly render settings, but it may also mean that certain render settings need to be selectively increased.

Sometimes tweaking these can save overall render time whilst producing the improvements you seek. In the image above, you can increase the Glossy bounces setting to account for the reflective floor and mirror without cranking up the overall pixel samples beyond If you felt it necessary to add realism to the bath water, you could increment the Volume parameter, and even activate Caustics, although these three can greatly increase render times. If you are still using a version of Poser older than 11, be sure to check the Indirect illumination option for richer shadow detail when creating Firefly renders.
In general, using less shadow blur works well with bright sunlight and objects close to the surface they are casting on, whereas grey days, interior lighting or objects further from the shadows they are casting all produce softer shadows. Choose the Superfly rendering engine and select GPU rendering.
