Wish they gave more time for edits....My Shots usually start out medium to long range, being gradually drawn in to up-close( gotta show off all that work that went into creating a detailed set)

Y'all have a Great Day.

Thanks for your reply hbore. My scenes tend to be late evening  to night-time, with the bulk of the lighting being HDRI, usually night skies with a low intensity point or mesh light (shadow disabled) somewhere off camera in the direction of main source providing a hint of specular highlight(as you probably know SSS is pointless in low-light environments without a little 'boost',and rim-lighting doesn't make sense in these environments). I'm using Poser12 Optix now, previously Vray in Max. I've always wanted to create content exclusively in Poser, but before Optix  5-10,000 frame animation was totally insane. Does EZSkin 3 work with P12? Most of the Python scripts I've tried wont run in P12, I've only been running P12 about a month, and must confess I've been out of the loop for quite some time....Life y'know . It's a steep hill to climb but I'll eventually get there, one small step at a time....

Y'all have a Great Day.

I've had enough of Win11pro , formatted and reinstalled win10Pro...Reason: blue screens constantly, multiple times daily, did'nt matter whether I was taxing the system rendering  heavily loaded scenes, or doing nothing more than watching youtubes ...BAM!!!!

wana talk about S-L-O-W... Hair and cloth simulations at a snails pace....even rendering preview animations took 2-3 times as long as with win10... I ain't got time for that crap.

Y'all have a great day...

There were issues early on with the default post render effects setting not working. I suggest unchecking and rechecking that option box and see if it starts working for you. Maybe also the same for the Intel denoise option. I use it all the time now. The intel denoise doesn't run on the GPU so the GPU should not be an issue here.

That did the trick... Thank you very much.

Great News.... Optix now working.... Turns out when I did a clean install of Windoze11 it automatically installed G force game drivers for my GPU, I uninstalled those and installed the Studio drivers I normally run...  Now getting 2.5 frames per min with medium adaptive GPU preset as opposed to a tad over one frame per min before. Still not applying noise reduction even though its ticked, I do batch drag&drop NVIDIA de-noising manually(wish there were options for de-noising strength though). Oh well, it is what it is. Still not 40x but its all this RTX3060 is capable of I guess. It'll have do till I can get a 3090 or a 3090ti if or when the bottom ever drops out of the GPU market.

Here's a sample render, big scene with a whole Neighborhood of actual geometry one streetlight outside. HDRI on the construct, and a movie (War Of The Worlds night battle scene) driving an area light hidden inside the TV (TV set to not cast shadows)... Y'all have a Great day.

Render

De-noised

These are draft renders I'll tweak animation and materials several times before final renders with higher samples....

I made the mistake of following directions and deleting my previous Poser 12 setup. Now I can't find anything.

a grey render is your RTX card crashing on a bad material node or shader in your scene. Once you have that crash you have to restart Poser or it wont render anything at all with OPTIX checked. First thing to check after restarting Poser is turn off OPTIX and see if it renders. If you get a render then you have to figure out what figure or object is causing the crash. Turn off everything in your scene except one thing and see if you get a render or a crash. If a crash then look at the shader setup for that item. One thing OPTIX does not like is ambient occlusion nodes. Super Fly DOES NOT NEED TO FAKE AMBIENT OCCLUSION WITH A SHADER NODE. I have also found that my free Super Shader for P11 sometimes crashes OPTIX.

Optix is working on your rig?...What Gpu are you using?

OK.... heres a render with  RTX.... just rhe default construct with a couple of seachnasaigh's textures, checked all lights...No AO.

Heres the same Scene , Optix render... Gray in viewport Black when saved... I  re-render with RTX without rebooting with no problem...I think its the renderer crashing not the RTX card.

Okay, am reading this and...did anyone addressed the issue of *why* OP's renders are grey? Is the feature not working? Was YPhil's suggestion tried? Was a support ticked filed? Did we verify it was not a camera issue?

No I've found no solution to the problem, Optix renders still gray. Y-Phil's post, while appreciated, wasn't germane to my issue, I have no problem with RTX renders, only Optix... Optix renders work great in Blender so I'm sure it isn't a hardware issue on my side.  I haven't filed a ticket, I had bad experiences in the past with support (Smith Micro) resulting in such frustration i quit poser for a while, I was having issues with poser crashing on file save resulting in corrupt scenes when I reopened,  with  a loss of days , weeks even months of meticulous animation(auto-save wasn't implemented until a later release)... I've since developed the habit of  saving to new files other than saving over old. The problem seems to have been resolved in the interim, but still... I prefer being a squeaky wheel in the forums other than having some propeller head piss on my leg and tell me its raining...LOL

*mom mode disengaged*   LOL

You should ask your Money back , either to the upgrade Price or the a full charge then buy again the upgrade version if you still wish having it ! And sure not hesitating to long.

Best would be to wait for Poser 12 for the final release as it is still after all this time a Prerelease. It still has many Bugs 

I was not aware P12 was in pre-release that explains a lot.... I've been Posering since P2,  I'm not going to force a refund...I'll  bitch, whine, piss/moan and bellyache for a while.  I'm a grumpy old man, I tend to do what grumpy old men do best....LOL... Y'all have a great day.

These are the selling points that  sold me on Poser 12:

• New Optix support, Nvidia RTX and Turing graphics cards.
The updates to SuperFly include support for Optix hardware based raytracing. This can yield significant performance gains in render speed.

• New SuperFly Adaptive Sampling improves render speed.
Another part of the improved SuperFly implementation of Cycles is Adaptive Sampling. This feature automatically adjust the render sampling based on image noise. This allows the render to automatically focus on noisy areas that need more rendering samples.

• New Intel OIDN, is a AI based noise reductions system
This new addition to SuperFly uses machine learning to detect and remove noise from SuperFly renders. When combined with adaptive sampling you can realize significant increases in speed and render quality.

First off...  Optix rendering doesn't seem to work AT ALL... Second...  rendering with RTX 3060 graphics card takes a minimum of 20% LONGER than rendering with my Ryzen9 5950X CPU.  Lets just say I'm not a happy camper. I have poser 11 pro and I was happy with it for the most part it just wouldnt work with my RTX card for rendering, I opted to  pay full price for Poser 12 so I could continue to use Poser 11 without upgrading. $250 bucks thrown out the window.

But then again you could simply animate your texture... Maybe create a series of various textures and use a morph program to create an avi of the transitions from one to another... Here the background is the body texture of the frog.

Is your cloth plane "Locked"?

JAFO, I'd just like the pony tail model. Is that possible?

I'll see about uploading it to sharecg. Link shortly
