Look in the Luxrender forum for more info on new features. They usually only support open standards since developer time is limited. The next release lists other new features, one of the skipped features is NVIDIA only RTX support, since it would lock out AMD and Intel.

Any luck compiling Reality?

Here is the forum thread where Paolo seems to be active and responding to questions:

An update:

I just added a few instructions in the Reality repository on how to compile it. I also added two large zipfiles with the Qt libraries that are necessary to compile Reality on Windows and Mac OS. This repository is called reality-libs.

The whole project is here:

Maybe these tips will help someone with PoserFusion:

/Edit, news post also states that PoserFusion death was a rumor.

Where was the info that Poser Fusion was going to be killed off? All off a sudden, the cheaper price for Poser Pro is not a good deal anymore, since Poser Fusion was killed.

Any other options for Poser to 3ds max or Lightwave?

Poser just needs to be update Superfly to the latest Cycles code soon and RTX support will be on the list.

Flowscape is an example of easy-to-use 3D app (can it be easier?) that makes use of bundled content. Would be a good inspiration for the next Poser version.

-Start bundles with some landscapes, buildings animals... -"Magic brush" to quickly add the content to the scene -Some skies and easy render settings

Regarding the request to add AMD ProRender for GPU rendering on AMD cards too, you can already get the Reality plugin for Poser, that renders via Luxrender 1.6 on AMD cards: https://www.renderosity.com/mod/bcs/reality-4-3---poser-edition/107744/

Would be nice if the new owners could help Preta3D somehow, in order to get the plugin updated to the latest Luxcorerender instead.

Poser 11 just needs an update of Superfly from its source Cycles, which has AMD OpenCL support in the newer versions.

/Edit. AMD Prorender may be better than Superfly or Luxcorerender, but another new render engine in Poser adds complexity for everyone...

1. Update PoserFusion plugin to be fully compatible with newer versions Lightwave 2018 and 2019.

Edit. I would personally prefer a separately sold PoserFusion plugin, if it was updated more frequently for the hosts apps. Now that Poser Pro is cheaper, there is a risk that the PoserFusion plugin gets abandoned...

1. More Superfly content included with Poser Pro 11, to learn from. Not that many scenes built-in scenes now in the current content packages.
2. Scaling in UI that supports 4K screens too, don't have one yet, but maybe soon.

1. Update Superfly with support for newer Nvidia cards (newer CUDA version I think)
2. Update 32 core CPU limit to at least 128, since there already are 64 thread CPUs available (AMD 2990wx)and 2019 will bring 64 core/128 thread CPUs for the desktop.
