If only eFrontier would allow us to use other Renderman implementations besides Firefly, we could do this basically inside of Poser. Of course, they'd also have to allow user-created shader nodes to be used in the material room, which would need to be turned off by default for the newbies. Air, Pixie, and the big boy of Renderman, Pixar's Photorealistic Renderman all have some form of global illumination. There are a couple of others (including the discontinued Blue Moon Rendering Tools) that support GI partially. C'mon, eF, what do you say? Can Poser 7 give us an option of where it sends the Renderman bytestream output? Firefly is nice, but for those things it can't do, it sure would be wonderful to be able to render directly from Poser to another Renderman instead of having to go with the various clunky export workflow options. Despite my bickering, I really DO enjoy using Poser a lot. The less I have to fiddle to get my figures rendered with GI, the more I'll enjoy it.
