Trying to get materials correct for Superfly optix, and I have to say it sure is a big hassle ! Spending allot of time setting it up .... I really miss that Simple material room to make the basic setup ! Trans Maps, glowing maps, Bump maps .. everything needs to be placed step by step manually searching nodes through a load of options ! 

Superfly tedious work still building it up

Firefly fast work 

at the end the larger difference is the time spend for getting it right but both engines give very similar results, only difference in these renders are caused from the light, so wondering if it is really worth spending so much time making setups for Superfly if you can get the same in firefly in no mentionable time. 

Not sure the renders prove much, certainly it is possible to select textures that will look similar in both render engines but, it is also possible to pick textures that would be vastly different such as liquids, gems and other such surfaces.  Question is why would you bother, if you like the look of Firefly than use Firefly, if you like the look of Superfly then use that but, for me at least, trying to prove one is better than the other seems a little pointless to me.

Superfly, no Poser lights just emissive surfaces.

 

 

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.
