I am not dumb enough to expect Poser vendors to do more than the absolute minimum, Wolf. All they would have to do is to continue making Superfly materials.
I am pointing out that Bondware can leverage the work they have done with their fork of the Cycles engine. the ProRender engine is a BETTER engine. The Cycles plug-in can leverage that.
Instead of having to maintain separate code for Nvidia GPU rendering, AMD GPU rendering, and CPU rendering, they can simply have 1 code base - 1 render engine that can simultaneously use any GPU(s) and your computer's CPU and system memory all at the same time.
Which would you prefer:
GPU rendering with an 8Gb Nvidia card
or
Rendering with 1 8Gb Nvidia card, 1 16Gb AMD video card, and 16 cores/32 threads & 128Gb system memory.
That is what the ProRender engine brings to the table.
This matters, since the RTX series cards are DOA. The RDNA2 cards spank them.
