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.
NO.... Prorender is a brute force path tracer with its own material system just like NVIDIA Iray, except that it is hardware agnostic and does not punish you for not worshipping at one single alter with regards to your GPU hardware configuration.
The Cycles plug-in can leverage >that.
Again ...NO.? the fork of cycles in poser ,and the programming code that makes it work, is completely unrelated to the Prorender engine from AMD as is the case with Blenders Full verison of Cycles.
AMD Put it out as free loss leader to foment AMD hardware sales ( Like NVIDIA)
and the Blender foundation(or AMD) had to write a completely separate plugin to support it in Blender, it comes as a separate windows installer package.?
There was no "leveraging"the existing cycle render engine so any code from the Cycles fork in poser means nothing.?
Porting the prorender engine to poser would be a completely new undertaking and then there is still the matter of trying convince Poser merchants and their buyers to adopt a completely new material system before they could begin rendering anything.?
