Attached Link: Not your average IBL image

Also Olivier (and many other people) are wrong about IBL and shadows. (He knows better now.) An IBL *can* produce directional shadows just fine. I don't know why people just believe this stuff, instead of trying it. I read that a long time ago, and said to myself "Let me see if that is true - I will enable shadows on my IBL - oh look - shadows."

Follow the link - you'll see and image lit ONLY by IBL, that has no AO in it - directional shadows were used.

I should write a book. There are so many ways people misuse Poser and get it to do stupid ugly things, and also so many things people believe are limitations when they are not at all.

Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
