hm...

it just frightens me. more, because it does appear more then once...

the texture converters and all additions had coming up with it. And it came up on Kaspersky and Avira.....

thanks for letting me know that i am not alone :)

yes, and Kaspersky has found a virus in previous downloads then deletes the files or puts them to quarantine. the D/S 4 exe i havent scanned, but the texture converter i scanned and Kaspersky found viruses in there.

Again, DAZ returned my ticket saying i should ignore it and the install on an isolated system worked oK, nevertheless i begin getting the same messages on D/S4 exe so i was wondering if this is a pattern others see...

Yes, sorry for not expressing right, whats required is a material set that would work in both. Now, it is pretty clear that D/S standard wouldnt do indirect lightning anyway, neither would poser 7 or so. So i try to keep the shaders as simple as possible, so they would provide emmitting light when working with poser 8 up but would also work with DAZ in case some one uses DAZ.

So, the solution i am looking for was a smart one ;)

hope that explains. Sorry, this is not my first language.

ReRo does, we are required to submit at least an alternative non-shader mat set...

good idea, this trick with the two surfaces. sounds simple enought to be reproduced. i need something that would also work in DAZ, even if it is not emmitting light, but the new marketplace policies here would require me to have less poser shaders but more DAZ compatible stuff.

thanks all for your great input. I know the results arent always what real life would be, however, people want what they like, not what real life is :)

thanks again, for so much useable input!

I am really curious about any new version of Poser. 2010 pro was a real great step forward due to the IBL indirect lightning feature....

Hi

sorry, i might should have mentioned that i need to work with onbaord materials as this is about a product for the market place so needs to work with standard settings. :)

So i guess the emulation of the above wouldnt work in a standard Poser 8 environment, would it?

Sorry, me again, whats HSVTM ? I dont have Gain, do you mean the texture strenght?

THanks, will try this and post the difference

Hi Bagginsbill. I think i got around it. Attached is a cap of the shader. I probably forgot to attach the 2d map to the value node. So that as a matter of fact the entire map was enlighted by "5" which produced a pretty much white screen.

It is simply a screen that i want to enlighten the surrounding, ensure the walls are a little lighted from it...

Little bit like the comics forum etc. Not really a large audience honestly ... yes, its is scary :)

Hm .... one thing i regularly came across that it helps when you switch Poser from OpenGL to Software Shading or visa versa.

Have you tried that? You can do so by clicking on an empty space in your scene (right click)...

Can you render an empty scene?

i can fully understand why someone pulls the breaks and stops working as a vendor when that happens.

It is the most frustrating thing i came across in all my work i have done.

But yes, we will probably never stop it. However as soon as i would see that there wouldnt be anymore or enough people out there, who would buy my work than steal it, i will stop as well.

Now, there might be lots of people arguing against it and argue that illegal sharing supports the business, argue whatever you want. Once you see your own, hard work pieces given away for free illegally, you will expirience the frustration. No one, that had never expirienced this frustration shall ever argue about it.

hey Argel. I am working on a kit for this. It would probably be up in about a week. very versatile and with lots o options ...

oh boy! thanks a lot replicant. I owe you a couple of hours of my life!!! :D
