Quote - Since the Pose2Lux.com site is down is there anywhere to learn more about this great program. I have read the Draft docs but I am still muddeling through how Lux handles the conversion for the different items in the poser material settings.

Thanks for the work you two have done I am getting some excelent renders that I could only wish for from Poser!

hi , if you plan to use it more "professionally" i would suggest to start using custom materials.

The conversion from poser to lux is based on "impressions" i or the original coder had of how a material translates best to a lux material.

Some materials i find good is f.e. the latex material (generic latex). It takes over from posr bump map and texture. Its good for every kind of plastic or iron material with texture (a glossy material).

The human eye materials like sclera cornea tear etc are working well.

Also the SSS skin material. But if you need it to be moer glossy or less you already have to go for a custom one.

Also the gemstones and galsses are realistic.

The metal materials are also good, but going custom you could make it less or more reflective etc etc.

 

going custom you will need to understand how materials in lux work.

You can find them here with an explanation of their settings:

so every material you see in the gui finally translates to one of thes with different settings.(only the cloth material description is missing).
