Might be having a brain fart but I'm trying to understand thse use of this. Unless I'm super way off the mark, does this thing make it so I can move certain parts of the body (hands, legs) by hand/mouse with more control and not the rest of the body aka 'my figure WON'T go to crazy pose town when I try to move the arm up manually?'

Because this would be an instant buy for me if that's the case.

    Promo shots seemed pretty comprehensive to me.

    After reading over the promos, its seems to be another IK system via the helper

    The second mostest awesomest thing about this is that it works for G3 F&M and G8 F&M!!!  No trying to bleed us dry with separate versions.  Much appreciated!!!  It is in my cart and I'll have a go at it tonight after work.  WOOHOO!!

    The first most awesomest thing is the sheer utility of it. THANK YOU!

    The videos help a lot in explaining them too. To me, the three main draws are:

    1. All the pose sliders together in a single interface. No more having to go to the scene, select the shoulder, do the rotation, back to the scene, select the next bone, move that, etc.
    2. Using the helper to "pin" the hand in place. For instance I recently had to pose a guitar player. With the traditional tools I had to start with the collar bone and work down to the hand to get it to look natural. With the Pose Master, I could have moved the hand using the helper, then adjusted the collarbone and shoulder so the arm went over the guitar without moving the hand.
    3. The "gaze guide" that shows where your character's eyes are looking!

    Since I almost always have to adjust even very good pose sets for minor details because of the custom characters I use, this will save me a LOT of time getting that to work properly.

    P.S. V3Digitimes has a commercial thread for Ultimate Pose Master too where she is responding to questions.

    Any one having problems with the size of the text with this? I've asked in the commercial thread but not everyone looks there.

    Not with the size of text but the sheer number of parameters on screen makes me go a little bit 'word blind'. Not a complaint, because that's reflective of the functionality of the product. Does Windows have a zoom feature in its accessibility features?

    There is a magnifier, but have you tried using it, even at 150% ? It's okay for text, but makes Studio unmanagable. If it were possible to expand individual panes using the mouse scroll wheel, then that would work.

    If you want something simpler you could try her Pose Mixer, it can lock selected parts of the body so they don't move when you manipulate the rest.  See video:
