Quote - I'm sorry, JenX, but so far NONE of the renders I've seen using Poser 8's new lights look even remotely PHOTOREALISTIC to me.
...
Or any of the gazillion node skin shaders that were a "must have" not so long ago.
This is a ridiculous statement. Not even "remotely" photorealistic? Either you believe the word "remotely" means something other than what I think it means, or you're being completely disingenuous here.
This is one of odf's test renders of Antonia. (Click for full size)
Not "perfectly" realistic, but to say this isn't even remotely realistic is only possible if you're blind or just trying to stir up trouble. This is a test render - no effort to refine or tweak. It's a basic 3-light set with IBL. The reason it doesn't look like a plastic mannequin is ENTIRELY because of the shaders - my VSS shaders. Your assertion is ridiculous.
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)
