Quote - BB, any suggestions for getting specular using IBL in Poser?

 

Only a theory.

  1. Really abuse the "blur" option (Softness) on the reflect node. Prepare to wait a long time. I wonder if Poser will let me set blur more than 1. I'll have to try it.
  2. Prepare a copy of the panorama, blurred. Connect that to a Sphere_Map on your material.

I have hopes that #2 can cheaply address soft specular such as on leather or rubber.

Have a look at this thread at RDNA:

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)
