Quote - only when we're talking Poser Pro, right?

Nope, that's not right. It is true that only Poser Pro has GC built into the rendering process automatically, at the flip of a switch.

However, I have been publishing how to do GC in shaders for months. This can be done all the way back to Poser 5.

I have also shown how to do GC using a lens, also back to Poser 5.

All the materials that come with VSS are gamma correcting materials - that's why the skin and eyes and teeth look real. Not because they're better shaders at those materials, but rather the simple step of gamma correcting is 95% of the realism.


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)
