What are you talking about?

And btw, simple codes dont exist in this case. You need to implement a code in a existing software which should keep his compability.

And Pose has a raytrace render engine.

render real hair without tranparency? Please explain what you mean with this.

-if they would use a new renderer then all the old materials and nodes would not work. they would have to add new nodes. but the names would be very similar. creating a skin material,hair material,cloth material ,wall material, car material would be easier. you would spend less time and get better results. but you would need new materials.

• in CGI we use 2 types of hair. polygon based hair. those are planes with transparency textures. 90% of DAZ hair. the other type is strand based hair. with small strands that render like real hair.

• poser is using raytracer. but Firefly is a hybrid renderer. a new raytraced renderer with pathtracing would be different. easier and better.

-i am not an expert. but making a brute force raytracer can be done in 6 months. then you spend 12 months testing,beta,adding tricks,opitmization. in 20 months you have a new renderer that works.
