SuperimPoser interface overview, at launch time:
|
|
The point was made to design a productive software with a straightforward immediate interface.
User's actions are anticipated in order to display available options
in due time. Instant help is shown without special maneuvers.
Once confident, the expert mode allow the users to fly directly through
the features. |

Figure
1: While in "discovery mode", the left part of
the graphic user interface (GUI) displays tutorials guiding
the users first steps. Above the "discovery"
panel, the "help" text area displays a detailed
information about each component of the interface. This
information appears automatically as the mouse cursor flies
over each component of the GUI.

Figure 2. In
this example, following the previous instruction, the user is guided
through the process of creating a new project. As the "Create
project" dialog displays, the discovery panel shows and details new
directions. The images within the current tutorial page match the
real viewing of the interface. Notice the "Back to expert
mode" link, allowing to switch to the regular mode, back and forth.

Figure 3: This
is the program in expert mode. The left part is now showing the icons
enabling to switch between various scenarios. Given a set of images,
various different project files may be saved. The "help" text
area is replaced by an information panel showing all the project's
relevant information. The discovery button allow to switch to discovery
mode if needed.

Figure 4: At
render time, a progress bar is displayed. The currently rendered frame is
shown. The rendering may be stopped and resumed back at any time. This is
useful should a "last minute" modification be made on a frame,
using any graphic software.
