Well I started to play with Reality last night, I say play because I have yet to read the manual past the installation instructions. The first render I tried had V4 in the scene and while the clothe textures were exported correctly the skin tone appears to be greyscale. I also had log messages in Luxrender state it could not find the textures for a figure 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3 with things like torso maps and face maps and so on. Slightly confused as there is not figure 1 in the scene but I suspect that this may be to do with Sub Surface Scattering.
Last thing last night I got some colour into the V4 skin tone by going in the materials for V4 in Reality and changing the prompt for the associated image map from greyscale to colour. I started a render but by then it was way passed my bedtime.
I am not sure I am doing this right so I will read the manual if I get time in my work breaks. I have to say though that even with the little bit of playing I did last night I was impressed with the textures for the clothing. If I can duplicate that for the skin tones I will be a very happy camper.
Please don't see this as a complaint, it is not, and it would be unfair if it was. This is just what I have found 'out of the box' and I mention it only as it may be something others come across.
I use Poser 13 on Windows 11 - For Scene set up I use a Geekcom A5 - Ryzen 9 5900HX, with 64 gig ram and 3 TB storage, mini PC with final rendering done on normal sized desktop using an AMD Ryzen Threadipper 1950X CPU, Corsair Hydro H100i CPU cooler, 3XS EVGA GTX 1080i SC with 11g Ram, 4 X 16gig Corsair DDR4 Ram and a Corsair RM 100 PSU . The desktop is in a remote location with rendering done via Queue Manager which gives me a clearer desktop and quieter computer room.
