Excuse me, I'm getting a little old after all.
The piercing is not from Saphire Nishi but from Inception8 but also Devianart.

I wanted to see if I was able to mimic the sun shining in a room. Bagginsbill's fog capsule to the rescue... 😁

Wow, great. Do you have a link to that?

Bagginsbill explained how to do it, long time ago. I think that at the (glorious) time of RuntimeDNA. I put all this in a compound node, attached to a PoserSurface node.
You can get it here.
Just unzip the 3 files and drop them somewhere in a Material folder of one of your runtimes.

In this picture, the cutie is in front of a too tall double door: I hide them and put two black square, one up and one down, to mimic a smaller window. One infinite light outside.

Um, that link just brings me back to this page? What am I doing wrong?

Loool... I was wrong, not you! Sorry about that.
Here is the correct link... 

Yay, thank you. Off to play. :)

If you actually use Cycles, this is how you would connect the nodes:

Aha... thank you for this explanation! 😍

It's just perfect, using these settings  😍

It's been such a long time since I did a portrait of my very first virtual love.... 😁

Very nice!  I assume you're using BB's Fog Capsule to soften the render.  Very effective if you don't want to take it into post-production, if that's the case.

You're welcome.  A pleasure to contribute.  I've been spending quite a bit of time poking around the Material Room and translating Blender shaders to Poser.  I've even managed to incorporate Poser's colorramp into Superfly renders.  This is one example that I managed to steal from Blender.

A Flip-Flop Car paint shader.

Material shader setup for the Flip-Flop metallic car paint.  A simple arrangement.

Wow... that's splendid 😍 Thank you for sharing...

I wondered what it looked like on an organic model.  Here it is:

I decided to go back and do some modifications to my Polka Dot Material Shader because I felt that there was a greater potential to do more with it than just rendering multicolor dots on a white surface.  This is what I came up with:

And this is just a sampling.  This is all procedural and I can create the effects on conductive and dielectric surfaces.

Those are looking great @hborre.

I have to agree, especially the semi-transparent one at the end.

Thank you.  All those variations come in one shader that contains 'switch' nodes to select the dots or the background.  Below is the node arrangement.

Took me a better part of an afternoon to add the additional nodes to make it work the way I intended. 

Thank you for posting the shader nodes @hborre.  Not sure when I'll get to try it out, but I will definitely be trying it out. 

*takes notes*

Thanks for showing us how to wire that up! Here's my take:

Looking good sir. 

Excellent!

something new. it's been a while since I posted anything here.

Looking good, Ghostship! Clearly I need to up my fabric normals game.

I wondered what it looked like on an organic model.  Here it is:

Fortunately, I saved this to a PZ3 file.  I used the Superfly default settings that are set to 4-pixel samples, no post-processing, and no de-noising.  You can see a little bit of noise in the upper areas of the render.  I used the standard default lighting.  At the time, I was playing with the colorramp node with Superfly rendering.  If you are curious, this is the Material Room set up for I modified for this render, all the nodes are highlighted.  This little bugger is included with Poser's legacy content.

I've read somewhere in a forum (here or at RDNA?) that any image that's being used for Bump/Transparency should have its filtering set to None.
Is it true? only for Firefly or systematically, Cycles-based rendering included?

I have seen that mentioned elsewhere also and I think it makes sense.  I'm not sure about transparencies but bump and displacement maps could benefit from changing that setting, especially where organic models are concerned.  Probably worth experimenting with.

I believe the filtering only affects firefly renders so no need to worry about it in superfly.

Poser's documentation does not specify if this has an effect only for firefly or not

The idea with this picture was to develop and use the kind of lighting that has been explained in another thread. and I was trying to have decent lamp shades that let us guess the presence of a bulb lighting the scene.

I like the soft render lighting in this image, it brings out a lot of details in the textures.

Nice kitchen scene.  May I ask where you found it, or did you create it from scratch?

I also like the lighting.  It looks soft and natural.
