Can any version of Poser that can make use of HDRI use sIBL? Or, for that matter, is it just IBL that is the determining factor?
I have not set it up for IBL - that would only be for the older Poser's that don't have IDL. With IDL I just load the EnvSphere with the HDR reflection image, and Poser IDL uses that for lighting, too. Older Poser's can use the EnvSphere for reflections and background.
I figured since the UI only works in Poser 8 and up (because it's wxPython) there's no point in pretending I don't have IDL to work with.
"It sounds like you're only using one of the two HDR files!"
Yes - there isn't any need for the HDR diffuse image - Poser IDL automatically uses the HDR reflection image for the same purpose. Some renderers can't do that and sIBL is designed for use in multiple systems of varying capability.
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)
