This pretty much confirms what I wrote in another thread.

Setup similar to Evargas:

Using Poser 13.0.339 and Poser 13.1, in their "OptiX Ultra Caustics" variants: 48 second for one and 217 for the other, and up to almost 340 seconds if I use Ali's HR-247 hair to compute.

I ended up buying smoke objects for some scenes 

:)) well then do not even try using the CPU , this is a real blow off ....

 

I actually was working on a Atmosphere Package with primitives including alternative Lights, slowly building it up to redistribute for Poser 13 already for a while, A little like a Microcosmos, like the Camera Bot, G-Drone that was made as a alternative Poser camera, the Cam Head light was also a very popular helper. But since the release of P13.1 it was not possible considering a free Atmosphere release if not supported by newer Poser versions. I was really  hoping it to be just a temporary issue or " Is it just me Issue " but now already the latest 3 updates are showing the same slowdown ....

Such a Package is sure worth Gold for a good publicity that poser 13 sure would need, no matter on what poser community site it will be placed. It shows what Poser is capable off and attracts new customers and poser users. It just needs to work else the whole efforts for a good package is just a reminder of what poser was capable of doing.
