Here's a little information early for those of you anticipating the release of Poser 6. The new version will include a feature called "Shadow Catcher," which is a new method of creating shadows (in addition to raytracing and shadow depth mapping). Here's the information Curious Labs has on it:

"With the new Shadow Catcher you can render shadows independent of background surfaces for easy image composition. Illustrate virtually any media with 3D figures and shadows from Poser 6. And the Shadow Catcher works with new lighting features in Poser 6…"

Poser 6 is expected to be released this spring. It looks like Curious Labs is going to be releasing several of these "secrets" to select media outlets, including this one, over the course of development, so stay tuned for more.
