i just bought P11 STD. Tried superfly a couple of times. Lighting and textures of model way different than firefly. Had to change lighting to just a couple of lights, or turn intensity way down, otherwise all is washed out with bright.

Texture ... not working ... so obviously something has to be done or the texture applied to a different node or something ... also eyes ... the pupil is gone ...or is that too much specular?

At this point you don't want to deal with the complicated answer dealing with node order in the Material room ... so I'll give you the easier answer: Snarlygribbly's EZskin3 at CGbytes (google it) and it is free and there are instructions on how to use it. there are several steps before it's ready, but it IS easier than building the shaders your self, which when you are ready is wonderfully challenging and rewarding.

thank you very much ... just downloaded and will give it a try

Firefly in Poser 11 still works perfectly well, and takes F-A-R less time to render. $.02

You are right about Firefly. It's just in my experience, the realism and detail is far more to my liking in Superfly. I had gotten Firefly to do some great things using mesh lights but found the mesh light feature of Superfly to be superior. We each have our preferences and I personally have been having a great time working with Superfly. It is great to see soneone continue the Firefly tradition. This will not only keep things going in P11 but be an amazing aide to those who haven't and don't wish to upgrade from earlier versions of Poser.

Would EZSkin3 take older poser shader node setups and reconfigure them to where they would work properly in superfly?

Absolutely! I've done it for many older shaders!

Very good to know

One big tip. You have a different light set available for P11 Superfly that's new. It's called an Area Light. You can either create a new light as an Area Light, or pick one of your lights, then click on Parameters Properties tab and change that light to an Area Light. There are some tutorials on the advantages (when rendering with Superfly) of Area Lights. A huge difference in rendering. As mentioned by Boni, EZSkin 3 is solid gold. Big shout out of super thanks to Snarlygribbly (I've said it elsewhere as well) and to those people who helped the update from EZSkin 2 (which works in pre P11) to EZSkin 3 (works specific features for P11).
