I'm still looking at the 2 images posted to really determine the difference.... my eyes must be getting really old. It's not really a convincing (mini) review, based on the findings I wouldn't be rushing out to get the new Poser version at all."
I agree completely!!
There is only a very light & negligible difference at the very top edge of the ear.
But the NON SSS render is hardly "lifeless" by comparison,as the reviewer claims.
Frankly it is as if SSS and to a certain degree Weight mapping in poser is having some sort of
Placebo effect on some people.
Just knowing that it is "there" has people convinced that the render is automatically "better"
" I'm still wondering why there aren't any art-industry related reviews as well. with previous versions we're even seen magazines jump in an review right after release..... now there's nothing."
Well the release is still fairly new and 3D world says they have a full review up coming.
But to be brutally honest all of these features are only "new" to long time exclusive poser users and there is NOTHING innovative & Exciting about them from the perspective of someone familiar other Character programs.
As a comparison: if there were a 3D modeling program that was around since the late 1990's
that recently got N-gon support that Might be big news to long time users who have wanted it for years but to reviewers outside of their communities
....Ho hum.
Cheers
