"And gradient bumps are only fully supported in the Poser 4 renderer"

Stewer:

To what degree (in what way) is the Gradient_Bump channel supported in the FireFly rendering engine? There should be no problem in acquiring an answer to this as Poser 7 is long on the market.

If it will not cause you difficulties, I would like some information about Poser 7 Pro. The PDF file does not directly mention Gradient_Bump, only that the 7/Pro/Base versions support Bump maps. This implies that there will be no change in the Bump Map features (Bump and Gradient_Bump) as they are presently implemented.

Does anyone know, or can anyone say how Normal Maps will differ from the Gradient_Bump implementation of Poser 4 - Poser 7?

Will Normal Maps have their own plug in channel in addition to Gradient_Bump, or will it replace Gradient_Bump altogether?

LMK
