The AnisotropicBsdf node is not working correctly in Poser 12. In addition, the Cycles Input Tangent node is missing the 'UV Map' Direction parameter.

Furthermore, the Legacy Firefly Anisotropic node has stopped working under Superfly in Poser 12. Therefore, it is not possible to render any correct anisotropic reflections in Poser 12.

It is very disappointing to find that nodes and shaders that worked in version 11 are not working anymore. When I downloaded the trial version I hoped it would be an improvement over the previous version but instead I found there were broken nodes, and the entire program is much slower.

The problem has been reported to the development team and hopefully, it may be corrected on the next update.

Jako bardziej codzienna praktyczna definicja, odbicia anizotropowe są jak zwykłe odbicia, z wyjątkiem rozciągniętych lub rozmytych w oparciu o orientację małych rowków (nierówności, włókien lub zadrapań), które istnieją na odblaskowej powierzchni. izotropowy: właściwości materiału są identyczne we wszystkich kierunkach. anizotropowy: ici właściwości materiału zależą od kierunku; na przykład drewno. Na kawałku drewna możesz zobaczyć linie idące w jednym kierunku; kierunek ten nazywany jest female kigurumi „z ziarnem”.

Translation ( as close as possible )

As a more everyday practical definition, anisotropic reflections are like ordinary reflections, except for stretched or fuzzy ones based on the orientation of small grooves (unevenness, fibers, or scratches) that exist on the reflective surface. isotropic: the material properties are identical in all directions. anisotropic: the material properties depend on the direction; for example, wood. On a piece of wood, you can see lines going in one direction; this direction is called female Kigurumi "with the grain".

Yup and that's a spam bot. Notice they took a word from the thread and returned a random piece of vague information about that word, with a sneaky link into the text. Same person did that in some five other threads that I noticed.

Definitely an annoyance. I'm completely setting this individual on the ignore list.

is that Polish?

It's been spamming in different languages.

Yes, and they are spamming on multiple languages--there is French on another thread and English on another. A clever spambot.

being dealt with

Thank you!

Wonderful, thank you.

"It may be fixed in a future update" "being dealt with"

That's okay. I may buy your software in the future, then. Meanwhile I'll stick with Poser 11.

Being dealt with is referring to the spambot spewing all over the forum and it being traced and eliminated, not what you said. And just how do you expect the devs to deal with a bug? In a future update. As the poster who said ' hopefully in the next update' was not a dev, they could hardly have given you the exact date of the fix. it was reported, it was put on the list.

Okay, yet the nodes are still broken and terefore, shaders that worked in v11 stil don't work in v12 If the nodes are fixed, buying a license may be worth consideration then. If.

Demanding users to pay hundreds of dollars for a license to run a bug that may never be fixed? That is quite a bold business decision.

In the past, Bagginsbill would find odd behaving nodes years after the implementation of the software, but we're talking about an individual with extensive training in computers and programming.

these bugs are known and are being tracked and worked on. The devs really are working on fixing all the issues with12.

Bless their pointy little heads.

Now that you mention Bagginsbill, is he still around? I wonder if he has quit Poser too, I wouldn't blame him giving up with this mess. All the shaders I use are based on BB's model for PBR.
