Quote - the material room is a half baked idea poorly done
they over estimated the users. we are not math professor programmers. we are, for the most part, ordinary users who have enough trouble converting ingredients for recipes or balancing the family accounts.
so far, only ONE user we've seen can use the material room consistantly. ONE. thats a HUGE FAIL.
yup yup yup.
I always come back to Vue's materials and I know I sound redundant, but Vue had/has a dynamite shader system, relatively easy to understand, even before they added "hidden" nodes. Enough for Poser users certainly. What you saw WAS what you got and looked damn good as well. The material room's gotta go and I'd leave Poser in the dust completely and move to another program like it if there WAS one. The only one that exists has an even worse material system than Poser. I've despised the material room from day one and it and I have had a long hate/hate relationship ever since. LOL
Actually, don't even think hate is a strong enough word.
