Attached Link: animated hair test
*"They have said that many of the dynamics features will not be supported in other apps using the plugins. Poser 5 has all new rendering tools, why would you want to render it elsewhere?"* Render elsewhere?? ?Hmm lets see.. how about volumetric lighting particle systems ,infinite terrains, Radiosity ,liquid/smoke simulation explosion effects, multipass rendering for seemless compositing in after effects or combustion and a REAL 3D camera system OPEN GL .hardware acceleration , batch rendering , custom scripting abilities not to mention world class modeling tools to name a few reasons Go back and look at the "ruby tuesday thread where you see a Naked poser female standing in front of a reflective plane with a nice shiny reflective sphere sitting on a table NO offense but the "firefly "render engine Looks about as good as Bryce3D was 6 YEARS AGO!!! Have you gotten some official word from CL about the hosting plugins for poser5?? the current poser propack4 plugin for cinema dose not actaully "IMPORT" the poser files but simply references the Data into cinema for rendering in Cinema's SUPERIOR rendering environment. if what you say is true then poser5 will be useless to me as i am an animator who dont do many NAKED chicks named "Ruby" standing in front of mirrors. Oh well( Sigh!!) it looks like I will be continuing to use Cinema4DXl's strand base animated hair ( Link) system and Cloth dynamics. and poserpro4. :-/
