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.

I have to disagree with this. I think the material room is very well thought out in Poser.

It allows anyone from a novice to a programmer to use the same room and share settings extremely easily. It also allows you to work around many of the issues present in the Firefly engine as well.

One of the most expensive and advanced 3D programs on the planet uses a very similar system for not only the material networks, but just about everything else as well.

Networks of nodes reduce limitations, that's why they are used in so many 3D programs. Dumbing it down with another system would limit what it was capable of.

If anyone thinks they can come up with a better system, by all means do it.

I am sure that you could retire the next day.

Autodesk, Side Effects, Maxon, etc, etc, etc: Would all be fighting for the rights to replace the node network system that is in use now.

They have not come up with a better way of doing it in years...
