"normal maps are better then bump maps.so I'd use normal maps if ya could."

Evidence please. This meme keeps coming back and whoever says it wanders off like an Alzheimer patient when I ask for visual evidence that a bump map and a normal, made with the same level of care, produce a difference in appearance.

"f you don't sub divide the mesh a lot and raze the polycount a lot then displacement maps & vector maps are worthless."

This is not a correct statement if you're talking about Poser. In the Poser forum please confine your facts to those that apply to Poser, not other applications.

Poser can fully displace a single quad polygon to any degree of detail you want - it uses REYES, which means micro-polygons are built FOR YOU, during rendering.

Please study your reference material before you make any objections or other statements that confuse people.

Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
