Oh no. Oh no. I only read a little bit of what you said, doggod, and oh no. So much is wrong.
Why did you post all that?
You keep saying renderosity - you must mean radiosity. Renderosity is this web site.
Anyway, radiosity is one method of doing GI, but it has sort of been discredited. It was big in the 90s. But who cares - Poser doesn't do radiosity.
Poser 8 has IDL which is faster, though not as accurate.
I'll have to come back and correct some stuff. The part about light rays never stop is - um - wrong. Moreover, the intensity of these light rays now has accurate falloff with inverse square light settings in Poser 8. I've published light shaders that work in Poser 6 and 7 to do the same.
You're knew here, right? I don't remember seeing you.
I'll have to come back.
Meanwhile, I imagine you're already pissed at me. Perhaps some others can fill you in.
I have to get to bed, and tomorrow is my wife's birthday, so I won't be online much if at all.
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)
