I loaded a Poser cylinder. I set up a point light at the same orientation as best as I can guess. This matters - moving the light even two inches changes the terminator a little, but drastically changes where the specular reflections are.
Since paper is not perfectly matte, there are specular reflections here.
I set up a material for my virtual paper cylinder as best as I can do.
I lined up the photo and the Poser cylinder and rendered in Poser Pro with GC on.
Here's what I get.
Not exactly the same - the terminator is just a tad softer in the photo. However, it is so subtle, I can't decide if it is because the paper is a little bit translucent or this is the low-light GC issue we're talking about. If the issue is translucence, then I can't really do anything about that in Poser. Not today's Poser. I need SSS.
What do you think?
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)
