s HMM Assessment Study Report: CDF-20(A) February 2004 page 119 of 422 advantage of Poser is that it comes with predefined human characters with a high level of detail. The manipulation of their limbs and body is also very straightforward. Also it provides a simple library of clothes and hair. A scene from the simulation produced, with a cutaway showing six astronauts is shown Figure 2-61: Figure 2-61: Transfer Vehicle cutaway Figure 2-62 shows a close up of an astronaut. This is useful for collision detection and to evaluate distances: 2.11.2 Simulation tool selection Figure 2-62: Astronaut posing view Poser 5, the selected tool, provides some functionality for human factor studies but it is limited in animation.
