Quote - Cheers Paulo, didn't expect all that info - that was mighty fine of you!

Glad that you liked it.

I get what you're saying.  And actually, when you listed the benefits of it, you just gave me the idea of havng a second monitor so that I could maximise the Lux screen.  I could have Poser and your Reality on one, and Lux on the other - that would be doable I think.

That's one way. I keep Poser on one monitor and Reality on another so that I can easily switch between the two when I setup a scene.

Quote - I think one of the reasons I get so frustrated with it is because I like the output of Lux very much.

This statement  I can't understand :) If you like it so much then why are getting frustrated? The two feelings seems to be opposite :)

Quote - PS: Nice to see someone who talks in photographic terms in his videos.  I realise it's important with Reality, but still, I wish more people would do that.

Thank you. It's one of the biggest disservices to the artists that so many renderers don't provide exposure control. The brightness or darkness of an image is created by controlling the exposure, not by acting on the lights. Having that tool available is invaluable and not having it creates really bad habits. It's one of the things that I like the most about having introduced Reality to the market, the fact I have the opportunity to talk about it so often.

BTW, another benefit of the stand-alone UI of Reality is that I'm free to set the keyboard shortcuts. For example, I have added one for "Copy with Textures" and another one for starting the render from anywhere in Reality, not just the Render tab. More shortcuts will be added soon. This new feature will be part of the next update. There is no way of doing that in Poser Python.

Cheers.

Paolo
