Predated Superfly material has become such a nightmare to convert.  Vendors that thought they knew what they were doing really didn't.  It is best to break everything down to the basics and then rebuild as simplistically as you can to make the scene render the way you want it to and as it should, which means understanding how lights, materials, and scenes interact with each other.  No more faking it.

Which means I'll have to come to understanding Superfly materials myself..  [wry smile]

Which would be useful but there is the possibility to use some of the commercially available materials such as the collections from Ghostship2 or Vince Bagna to replace the old materials that do not work.  Certainly for props, be it buildings or clothes this can be a way forward.  

 

 

I use Poser 13 on Windows 11 - For Scene set up I use a Geekcom A5 -  Ryzen 9 5900HX, with 64 gig ram and 3 TB  storage, mini PC with final rendering done on normal sized desktop using an AMD Ryzen Threadipper 1950X CPU, Corsair Hydro H100i CPU cooler, 3XS EVGA GTX 1080i SC with 11g Ram, 4 X 16gig Corsair DDR4 Ram and a Corsair RM 100 PSU .   The desktop is in a remote location with rendering done via Queue Manager which gives me a clearer desktop and quieter computer room.
