All in all is that final Poser-13 working alright, for the little issues just got to find some workarounds, was the same thing with older poser versions. Guess it is more difficult for creators then it is for end users, but what program works in a perfect way anyway, so better that it stays that way and is final rather that they start to break more trying to fix these little issues that sure have some workaround. will see what they come up with in Poser 14 next year :)

Actually they did a good job on the new Poser versions guess we just are expecting a little to much ......

Are you using the new VectorDisplacement node?

At least do not have to change any products, no biggie will just keep the old fashion setup, less trouble and loosing less time on this problem so I just put it ad-Acta

New VectorDisplacement setup ....

Would love to see your renders using the updated Volume features just released in 13.2.581.

1: the 3D textures using a cloud box that perfectly worked in poser 13.0 until Poser 13.1 is still cranking and hanging if you do not change the Atmosphere step size above 300 ... still the same conflict in Volumes nothing changed ! 

the issues with Displacement maps still the same issue only Bump can be used in superfly.

Sample .... of Bump setting

Sample on how Superfly still is handling Displacements ! NO FIX

It is a little disappointing that this may be the last update that did not fix any issues, and honestly I could not find many changes in this update, ok the Broken Tear off got fixed. I first thought ... I got the old version installed again due the spelling error in the exe version number of Poser 13.2 but nop splash screen says 13.2 

I hope that these issues will be fixed on your Poser 14 version you announced as it is not going to be a free update ( Fix ) I guess ! 

Poser Astral Horse render test in latest Poser release ..... Optix render

I just do not get it should this version be Installed, or not ? the Installer still is giving Version 13.1.581.0 in the properties Is this a typo in the exe ?

13.2.581 that probably will be downloadable later due all the typos. It seems to be the last Poser 13 free update before the Poser 14 release next year !!!

something going wrong here, still getting 13.1.581 wen downloading Installer has the exact same size and version Number it does not seem to be v 13.2.581

this is on both download pages

I missed the part that you use IBL , but does not make any difference, it also will work using IBL setups in FF. actually if you set it up this way it works on all poser versions with any render setting and render engine . FF as well SF or Reality , a fast and easy way to set it up instead of messing around with all nodes ending up that it only works for one render version or Poser version. A one for all solution :)

Here a render in PP11 using IBL - IDL 

I tested some different methods and it seems to be quiet simple just by connecting the Image map node to the Diffuse color leaving the rest as it is. If reflection is to strong just darken a little the Specular and or the Alternate Diffuse. That is if I understood the problem correctly. Connecting the Image map to the Diffuse Color will automatically remove the other connection that makes things black

Still off-topic, but I've got to ask, where did you get him?

sorry but not allowed to drop a link where one could get this poser model, they do not like this in here ....

:) Win 11 I guess .... if it does not hold the change you made in the host file open the txt editor as administrator then open the Host File through the Editor that runs as admin add the line try saving it again, other option is to try with replacing the host file with a new one as administrator.

Go to the Host file , Located in 

C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\

Open the host file with a notepad and add this line at the bottom, after adding the line save the hostfile

127.0.0.1 www.contentparadise.com

This will fix the issue with the Popup

In some cases you might also get another error message this one is fixed by adding this line into the hostfile

127.0.0.1 www.producturlsupport.com

After adding these lines as both sites are down you will not get any error again ....

I am totally amazed using these new texturing filters for poser models, This is a early December holiday freebie release of a phoenix for poser. Still learning all these filter options to reach a good balance

Poser 11.2? it looks like you are trying to use SmithMicro's version, the license server of which has been down since the transition to Poser 11.3.818, the Bondware's version.
You should be able to download them here: https://www.posersoftware.com/downloads/11 with your actual license number, if I am not wrong. If it isn't recognized, I suggest that you post a ticket to the support, here: https://support.posersoftware.com/
