Small clarification ... my P4 render above was using Firefly node-based materials. Otherwise, the skin would NOT have a proper Blinn specular or SSS or gamma correction, all of which were key to getting the skin to look right.

The point I was hoping to make is that even when you let the P4 renderer use Firefly's nodes, which takes away one advantage of Firefly, the handling of shadows is enough inferior that I would never dream of using the P4 renderer for anything other than a demonstration of why it is inferior.

These sorts of details are precisely why Poser is so much maligned in larger CG circles. Users who produce naive, even bad renders, featuring pointless nudity, proudly displaying them in their gallery - that's perceived as the essence of the Poser community. I hate that.

I'm fine with big boob pictures - just try to make them look real. It's not as though I'm keeping secrets. What you see above (lights, shaders) are available as freebies from me that you can use in a couple clicks. But you have to use Firefly and you have to use ray-tracing.

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)
