Quote - But if you have read any of the threads here from people who have tried to use poser pro 2012's IDL to render animations you already know that the latest version of poser is not really prepared for lengthy animation with quality any higher than Open GL screen renders from with poser itself.

 

I compelely disagree with your statement. I've read those, but we all know that between IDL and OpenGL we actually do have quite a number of good options available to render lengthy animations at reaonably speed. The problem is that we keep forgetting that IDL isn't a solution or a must for everything we do with poser. The other light systems in Poser have seen improvements as well, but render at good speed, so why not use them? You don't have to use IDL in Poser, you can ignore it and still get good quality in renders with other lights. for animation I wouldn't even consider IDL, and if I want WAY better quality then OpenGL, I've still got plenty of options that will give me good render quality with acceptable rendering times.

 

Besides, OpenGL has improved a lot in Poser and if you've got a good graphics card (even a half decent one as I have), you can boost your quality a hundred times from what it used to be before Poser Pro 2012. Most people seem to have forgotten that you can set up your OpenGL differently then it used to be, it's not on by default, but if you switch it on.... boy a world of difference from what it used to be.
