Quote - Ive been watching the Luxpose thread here and the reality thread at daz ,
Ive had a play with Luxpose alpha and I also decided to buy reality just to try it .
Now I actually Hate daz studio , I use Poser and Carrara :)
To use Reality I have to upgrade to the latest Daz version which broke the cloth plugin lol
That why I hate Daz , new updates always break something that was working :(
and Poser/Carrara are so much easier to use and both Have good render engines :)

Sorry got a bit side tracked there lol

Back to my point , Luxpose is no slower exporting than Reality , as far as I can tell .
But my big disappointment with Reality , that Most Materials are exported with a very high gloss setting ? skin , wood , concrete ect ect all gloss ?
ALL Metals are exported Gold ??
SO you have to spend alot of time adjusting ALL materials ,
when you change the imported Gold metals you only have a choice of gold , silver ,aluminiun and copper :(

IMO for a paid for plugin it really seams unfinished and uncomplete .
Sure it works well and has a nice GUI but its not "With a click of the mouse you can render your scene with Lux" as adertised .

I cant wait for the Luxpose version to be finished ,
for what I can see so far it will be alot better :)

To be fair and democratic about the metal choices..lol...I think LuxRender only has but so many coded materials for metal and I think those you mentioned are it.
