Quote - I want to get Poser 5-6-7's material room sorted.
Seriously!
There is bloody NOTHING on shaders / nodes anywhere. Folks,what is with that? Seriously, what is WITH that???!? Am I the only one seeing this? One of Poser's most powerful components, and there's NIL documentation on how it works? Yeah, I know about Castle Poser. They gave up, Poser version five. Nothing on color_math functions or math_function Pow. Or basics like how do you plug what into what and WHY.
How Bizarre is that?
***Bizarre. Vous avez dit bizarre? Comme c'est bizarre.
We have this incredibly powerful tool at our disposal, but no one friggin' knows really how to use it except the eclectia who have done a million experiments and who know what's going on. What plugs into what. They know to turn off Diffuse_Color (set diffuse_value to 0) when they are going to plug stuff into the Alternate_Diffuse channel. The rest of us poor schmucks have access to setting up texture maps.
Look it up, folks. All the documentation is about bloody texture maps. How lame is that.
The stickied threads on material room stuff ASSUME a lot. I want a PRIMER! And if it doesn't exist - begging PLEASE that I'm wrong on this - I will bloody-well WRITE one!
Am I alone on this?
We should create something like a foundation...
Reward a Poser Tutor Foundation
if we can gather resources, like a small fund, we reward people who make tuts that everybody can vote on depending on its usefulness.
Passion is anger and love combined. So if it looks
angry, give it some love!
