Voila, sir.
You are the first and only one so far that has ever answered this Poser "Hue" question.
Does that surpise you?
In you honest mind.

Do you think that is normal after so many Poser versions that have had this "Hue", and  so many thousands of end users?

Your answer should be in the manual. Thank you.

Conflicting posts?? Yes, no, yes, no.

I am sure that a lot of end users want to build their own shaders but should be protected against themselves.
Or helped, call it whatever you want.
The current material room allows everything. Even total math chaos.

Indeed a good set op présets but on some conditions;

• That they are updated with every Poser release.
• That they are different from Poser 9 to PP2012. => (GC) (But GC is an optional setting in PPro.)

One material that works great in Poser 9 is probably useless in PP2012 with GC.
Another material that is great under IDL is probably pretty ugly with only IBL.
A material that looks great inside your sphere, can be useless without it. => ( do not forget to read the word "can" )

Actually, each and every material preset HAS to be documented for the light conditions.

Structuring the Material room to make it more user friendly, and to avoid "stupid" connections would help most.

Every knife has 2 sides.

The hobby guy/girl that will buy and use presets.
The professional that knows his way around the room. => ONE only :-). He gave the "Hue" answer remember. :-)

And then there are those that experiment, and YES, they read each and every one of your posts. :-)
They take notes, and try to learn.
Thank you for that.

A rewrite of the material room?
No, just remove the impossible possibilities.
Make it work like a flowchart and I am sure you know how a flowchart works.

Better document each node.
I know this sounds pretty stupid by now, but I again take the Hue as an example.

PS; I could have asked the same question about Posers "HSV"  Saturation or Value to any other Poser user.
Nah, :-) , you and Stefan are excluded. :-)
