I'm hoping a Macintosh version of Poser will be written that will render in Metal. Here's a fine article about Metal (You can skim over the history in the first part, if you like): https://appleinsider.com/articles/19/10/18/editorial-mac-pro-puts-the-pedal-to-metal-in-apples-race-with-nvidia Or, how about Blender or Lux being written to render in Metal?

Any chance Reality or Lux will be written to render in Metal? Here's an article about Apple's new rendering mode: https://appleinsider.com/articles/19/10/18/editorial-mac-pro-puts-the-pedal-to-metal-in-apples-race-with-nvidia

What is "virtual mode"?

I've read that article and others like them.

How about the Macintosh updates? There is at least one Macintosh update, but I read that some people had problems when they applied that. Has there been a second or a third Macintosh update? I'm currently using 11.2.276, Macintosh. By the way, may I have a link to the update page so that I can check the dates? I'm assuming that if there is more than one Macintosh update, dates will be given. But, I'll be grateful if any other Macintosh users post about their experiences updating.

Nope, something's wrong. I can't get any of ghostship2's shaders to apply. I have gotten the other things mentioned in this thread to apply. Maybe it's something I'm doing incorrectly. I've also bought the SuperFly Shaders for Poser 11 by Vince Bagna, and I've been able to apply those. So, if I'm doing something wrong in the case of ghostship2's offerings, I'd like to figure out what that is.

Not sure what to tell you. They all work on my system and nobody has ever complained that they did not. It's been a couple of days since you posted, is it working now?

OK, I got the sand shader to work on the Ground. Thank you very much, ghostship2.

I'll have to try again.

OK. Thanks for all the info. I'm going to try your sand on the Construct ground.

Hi, ghostship2: And, is your Shader included in that set? Or, do I have to download the shader separately?

Thank you very much, RedPhantom.

Well, I went to the snarlygribbly page. I don't see an AVFIX there.

I downloaded the ghostship2 texture set at https://www.sharecg.com/v/86231/related/7/Material-and-Shader/Poser-11-Superfly-Uber-Shader-version-3 The mats are just in a folder by themselves. If I were to put them into a runtime folder, do they go into Materials? Do they go into textures?

I've downloaded the new Skys that seachnasaigh made. Thanks very much for those. I noticed the "lightcaster" term. What does it mean? I had stopped using Poser for awhile, so I guess I have to catch up on terms.

I just grabbed AVFIX - haven't plugged it in yet, but THANK YOU so much! I absolutely LOVE EZSKIN - I use it all the time... It makes my Girls look awesome. ?

What is AVFIX, and where can I get it?
