Quote - Has anyone tried to get that glossy ad look that was used in illustration in ads in the 40's and 50's? I tried a few things in Photoshop but I'm looking to do an animation. So I guess I'll need to do it in Poser.
Any help will be appreciated.
You're not going to get that in an animation: what you're showing is a painting, with supersaturated colors of oil paint. Never was a renderable texture, but you can do a couple of things to approximate it.
One thing you can do is to render out a script, and play back in Painter. That's a very little known feature of the Poser render engine, but its very useful. Painter offer a lot of control over very subtle stuff, and can be controlled by scripts that specify brush strokes generated by Poser.
