If the world dont stops this night or internet dont crash or Curious Labs dont overload their server (and if the installation is ok), this night Ill have my Poser The Sixth. And tomorrow I dont work, so probably Ill be enjoying the soft as a cow licking sugar Need a tip. What recommend you that I might try? in order to obtain a pic that I would say: HEY, I NEVER COULD DO IT WITH MY POSER5 !!! Jessy? (nice James, but I like girls) IBL? Ambient Occlusion? Tell meeeeeee

"IBL? Ambient Occlusion?"

IBL could be done in P5 (whith much more effort), but Ambient Occlusion really couldn't be reproduced in the same way. You were able to "fake" AO with tons of spotlights, but it never came out quite as good in the end.

I'd suggest trying out the AO/IBL thing first (I know you're dying to hehe), but then don't overlook all the other goodies. I'm a big fan of the "shadow only" render pass that's now available, and the "specular only" and "diffuse only" light options (accessable on the light in the material room).

I'm sure you'll also enjoy the spot render option (render just tiny pieces of your render to preview), and of course the ability to go back and view your previous renders in the render cache. YOu can also save textures and shadow maps to a cache, so that after they load once (say for a test render), they don't need to keep loading over again for subsequent test renders. So many nice things, I'm sure you'll have some fun.

Just don't try huge scenes right off the bat or you'll get frustrated with the memory issue CL is working on. Message edited on: 03/31/2005 07:28

Thanks for the tips (yes, really Im dying to). And already I readed about the memory topic, and Im not very worried ... (my P5 didnt work well until SR4)

Tip: Don't die. It would preclude you from seeing the cool stuffs in Poser 6. Your neighborhood helpful, Melen
