Quote: As for the suggestion to post such a gallery on the SM site, well IMHO that would be nothing more than a FREE advert for the DAZ inc  $$$Store$$ unless you restricted it to the SM's poser native content.

Welcome to the Smith Micro "FireFly" Gallery:...

 

Quite disrespectful, and I don't see the connection between SM and DAZ. Here it is http://poser.smithmicro.com/gallery.html and is does answer the question what the program is capable of. Edit: Bagginsbill is in slots 5, 7 and 8.

My issue with having another subcategory is that one can post in one gallery only. So posting in realism, portrait and no-postwork would require three posts instead of one. So perhaps we could improve on that first / as well. When I had a good result, I would prefer the first or second over the third to post in. Same with tutorials.

Next to that, I find the no-postwork as well as the "see what the progam is capable of" both rather vague. Firefly calculates results per materials channel and per light, and adds them up. When I get all results out as separate render passes and blend them together myself, it's postwork. And I do see every day in the galleries what the program is capable of. Horrible in a lot of cases, but some are quite good. In other words: we might need better criteria for what we're really looking for.

Usually I'm wrong. But to be effective and efficient, I don't need to be correct or accurate.

visit www.aRtBeeWeb.nl (works) or Missing Manuals (tutorials & reviews) - both need an update though
