Quote - I saw todays RNDA newsletter advertising Reality 3, the nice images caught my eye, and the page says its for luxrender. Yet on the luxrender site it links to pose2lux and thats free. I've heard of luxrender and reality for daz studio, and the impression was this studio only, so whats the difference twixt Reality for poser and pose2lux?
Different interfaces (and P2L is written in python). You can write your own Luxrender shaders and use them in P2L with XML (Luxrender shaders are dead-easy too). I don't know if you can do that in Reality or not as I don't have it. Paolo can answer that one although I have no idea when he's gonna come up for air. LOL. Hmm...what else. Oh yeah, you can assign IES files to mesh lights with P2L. Other than that, I'm thinking each has pretty much what the other has, just implimented in a different way. P2L isn't nearly as pretty but it gets the job done ;).
