The Art Models 5 Companion Disk is a PC & Mac compatible DVD-R packaged in a DVD-style case. It contains all of the poses from the Art Models 5 print book plus several bonus poses. Every pose is shown in rotation, using 24 high resolution photos per pose. Over 1,500 high-res, full-color images.
Art Models 5 puts you in the studio with twelve new art models (plus Becca from “Art Models 4”) in a new collection of beautifully photographed full color poses. Each pose shows the complete figure and can be rotated 360 degrees.
Figure art requires nude models and frequently that means working in a group to hire one model on a predefined schedule, agreeing on a pose, and then often not getting the view you want. But with Art Models 5 you have unlimited access to a diverse group of models and poses. Whether working on a finished piece or simply trying a new technique or settling in for some practice time, you can work when you want, where you want and with your choice of model, pose and view.
Success in art like success in most of life requires practice, practice and more practice. With the AM5 disk, you will never be without a model to practice from. Poses are precisely lit, revealing every area of the model while still providing rich shadows and tone. In response to customer requests, the contrast has been increased in many of the photos, providing deeper, more challenging shadows. Carefully selected poses illustrate important effects such as foreshortening and perspective changes as the model is rotated.
Each pose shows the complete figure, but due to the high resolution of the photos on disk (many taken at 21-mega pixels), you can also see details of individual body parts, giving you thousands of richly detailed close-up views of areas such as hands, feet, and faces. The high resolution detail is superb for digital artists; drawing, painting and sculpting digitally or for animation, game and film development.
The models appear in a clean environment that enhances the figure and is void of distractions. All of the 1500+ photos were painstakingly edited and adjusted to yield all the nuances of the figure. The disk offers the flexibility of numerous viewing options—on a computer screen, printed out, projected for a group, or via a high-definition television and each angle of every pose can be enlarged, enabling artists to zoom in on specific body parts to discover their intricate detail or project the photos to life-like proportions.
All new models plus returning model Becca give artists a whole new collection of poses and models to work from in Art Models 5. New models include, for example, Candace from the "Virtual Pose" series of books and Jenni, a "Top 10" MET-ART model. Art models 5 includes several natural, relaxed poses and some inspired by classical works of art but, the primary focus is on dynamic poses showing the models twisting, scrunching, reaching and even fighting.
