Quote - I did postwork the image a bit in Photoshop, mostly to correct joint issues and attempt to breathe life into lifeless Poser hair...  the attached image is a comparison of the untouched render and the final image.  Link is to a larger version of the final.

I'm late to this party (appropriately, perhaps, for my username), but I wanted to add my praises and a million thanks to bagginsbill for sharing VSS with us.

I've been using Poser for a long time, but ended up taking a hiatus for various reasons including my own frustrations with its limited capabilities.  I recently got back into the program and upgraded to Pro, but it was really my stumbling across this thread and testing out VSS that inspired me to update my gallery (and post in a thread) for the first time in 4 years.

Technical notes: rendered in Poser Pro (with gamma correction) at max settings on a Mac, using the PR3 shader and bagginsbill's indoor lights.  Comments are welcome. :)

I like this a lot. However, I notice that there is some uneven coloring. This is probably due to the simultaneous use of GC in the shader and in Poser Pro. If you're using Poser Pro built-in GC, then you need to change my template shaders and set the Gamma to 1.

On the PR3 skin shader this is easy to find. On the other shaders (eyes) you have to find the math node with a 2.2 in it.


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)
