True, but there are some special cases where a shader would be excellent - if it only worked. One such case is mist. I can only talk about Vue because I don't know Poser. But in Vue, you can for instance save a Metacloud as a vob file. If you do you will find that sometimes it works perfectly, making the most beautiful and natural looking mist, but in other cases (unfortunately the large majority) it doesn't work at all.

They can send a man to the moon, but they can't make mist. If only something was visible! So you could begin to tweak! But no. Then I ask,
Is there a viable way to make mist in Poser? (third part solution or not!)

?
