I have to say that a great part of my enjoyment of Poser is due to my participation in this forum. When somebody asks a question or raises an interesting point, it provides the impetus for me to investigate the physical properties of the world we live in. Figuring things out and deeply understanding them is incredibly satisfying to me. I thought I understood glass pretty well before, but I was wrong. I'm learning some fascinating things. My glass shader is now around 70 nodes as a result.

What I've learned over the past couple days is going to make an excellent chapter in my shader book. But it's very complicated.

The cool thing is that using the shader isn't complicated at all, despite how hard it is to build it.

Anyways... I thought I'd share a couple more demonstrations.

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)
