Quote - > Quote - The material room in Poser just makes more sense to me.  While the DS3A material settings were less involved, so were the resultant materials.  Improper tiling, terrible stretching, etc.  Material settings do take more effort in Poser, but it shows.

Oh yes, don't get me wrong, the Poser Material room is a great tool and I'm constantly impressed with what even my feeble understanding of how it all works manages to produce! :)

It's just that (to me, anyway) there are some obvious simple features missing that I needed get via extra scripts. I can't understand why some of things aren't just standard - not just the Material Room but other parts of the interface as well. But that's just how it is - and it's not desperate, just annoying sometimes. I certainly don't regret moving to Poser. Poor old Vue has been sadly neglected this last year! LOL

 

I am amazed at some of the stuff folks like ParrotDolphin, Fabiana and Bagginsbill do with the material room in Poser.  Me, not so much as I have never spent enought time to use it well.  One day, I'll even manage to wrap my head around how to do displacement well in there. 

I certainly didn't mean to infer that you meant anything negative.  Just agreeing that the Poser material room is superior, if one learns to use it like the artists above.
