The progress bar for rendering doesn't work. It shows some progress for the current block but doesn't retain progress of the previous blocks. The block in the lower left corner doesn't show while rendering (very old problem, still not fixed). Downloading content doesn't show any progress bar, not for the item being downloaded and not for all items all together (difficult to judge progress).

Installation gave no problems.

Is it still possible to install by hand? I much prefer to keep maximum control of where files go. I also have a bunch of older runtimes that are arranged to my own satisfaction (vanity folders stripped out etc.).

Yes, you can manually install content from zip files the way you always have.

Thanks! Good to know!

in the render settings it only has the option CPU no GPU ?

Seem to have lost the thread on this, but rendering the superfly test scene at sharecg. Render time on my GTX1060 was 29 minutes 23 seconds. I set Adaptive sampling threshold to .01 (in cycles that would be a little high ) and after applied default PostFX - time 3 minutes 21 seconds. Barely tell the difference.

I don't see an option for OptiX GPU, just CPU and GPU. Is my GPU too old? I have a Nvidia GTX 1660 Super

OptiX is only on the Turing cards. RTX cards

Thanks for the quick reply. Now I have yet another reason to upgrade as soon as I can afford it. :)

Optix is now available for GTX. You need to update your graphics driver.

Am I missing something? Are the PostFX just exposure, saturation, and ONE denoise tick? That's really not worth making an announcement of a new tool. The free Windows 10 photo editor can do tons more than that.

You're right that Nvidia says Optix can be used on the 1660 Ti so it should work, I think. I updated my drivers and it's still not an option in render settings. Either Poser 12 doesn't recognize my card as being able to use Optix or it's because I'm using the free trial version as I haven't received my serial number yet.

Strange on the license number. I received mine immediately once I paid for the software.

AMDs RX 580 not supported o well. I'm seeing some improvement with the CPU render time it is a little wanky crashed once, hair really bogs it to a crawl with lefem hair in a scene 8 m deleted the hair only took under a minute, Progressive Refinement does not display right as it renders squares and the top shows up at the bottom half of the render, it finishes fine when completed. I'm liking the snappyness of the program, before it was boggy when moving something in a scene. ok I'm tired ill mess with it tomorrow after I vote.

Slow hair render could be geometry or could be overly complicated shaders.

Yes, but no. Cycles, the core of the SuperFly render does not support GTX hardware. Why? Because with out the Raytracing cores in the RTX that are in RTX cards Optix is actually slower than a Cuda render.
