Quote - yeah, and as Poser doesn't do atmospheric scattering, results will be like space station anyway :-). And indeed, whatever high value you put into the render settings, Firefly insists on making splotches in the right-angle corners. But as said, Poser can come close at reasonable resource usages (RAM space, CPU power, wallet power, user time).
I agree. Most users won't care, or notice. I've read so many people suggesting that Poser's Firefly can create images as good as Luxrender or Octane, so the flawed IDL implimentation in Firefly seems to be "good enough" in many people's eyes. The problem technically seems to be inaccurate interpolation sampling, and Poser does not offer the exposed settngs to refine this beyond the overly simplified render settings in Firefly. There should be far deeper control over the irradiance solution exposed in the render settings. Certainly in the "Pro" version of Poser. The render settings available in PoserPro need a much deeper level of control exposed to the user.
