The redux of the Withywindle ferry includes lap strakes for the hull and UV-unwrapping of the railing scrollwork. I'm not satisfied with the bow wave, or even the harbor water at this angle of camera and sun. Harry the HiveWire horse stands in the central well.

For those who have downloaded the Grey Havens, watch the freestuff for an SR3 for the Grey Havens. It corrects the grid artefact on the harbor water, fixes a UV smear at the corners of the pier steps, etc. I also have a little skiff (small sailboat) and a ferryboat with a horse bay nearing completion.

Skiff shown in foreground:

Note that the grid artefact which showed on the water surface is fixed, as is the UV smear at the corner of the pier steps.

Thank you for this honor! :D For those who have downloaded the Grey Havens, watch the freestuff for an SR3 for the Grey Havens.

Thanks for this great set. Now I've had a chance to load it I have a couple of observations.

The preset "!Grey Ship at sea.pp2" calls two of Lisa’s Botanicals products. For somebody who do not have these, you get a lot of "file not found" errors. A preset without these (like the planter.pp2's) would fix this.

Question. Are Lisa’s Botanicals products available? Specially the tulips and cherry trees.

Thanks again :)

Good point; I have updated the zip so that now it has both !Grey Ship in harbor and !Grey Ship in harbor w LB plants preloads.

This set is much bigger than the default construct, so set each camera's yon higher:

I don't know if Lisa's plants will be transferred to Renderosity's store; she died recently, and featuring them in this set was a sort of remembrance to her.

Thank you, fellow Poser folk! :D

This set has been uploaded to freestuff. If someone spots a critical error, please notify me. You should see this in your props library:

suggested render settings for P12:

In P11, use maybe 30 pixel samples. P12 can use much higher if adaptive sampling with threshold is set (I used 0.003) because Superfly will consider a pixel which hasn't changed in the last several raytraces to be finished, and skip it thereafter, concentrating on those areas which still need refinement.

These test shots were done with the final prop set (OBJs extracted, etc), exactly what is packed in the freestuff zip:

Thank you for this honor!

The Grey Ship and the Grey Havens port are nearing completion; I'll post test renders (rendering now) in the forum.

The Cycles EnvironmentTexture node allows you to specify equirectangular, but I don't see that sky map even if I make the construct invisible.

The sphere map node is a vestigial leftover from the days when Firefly needed cheats.

If you want a mirror ball, and you're using P12 and rendering in Superfly, I'd use the PhysicalSurface root.

But, the PoserSurface root will do. Try killing the Diffuse and Specular (set value to zero, set color to black). See what happens. Do you have the mirror ball in an environment, such as the construct? That enclosed environment will give the camera something to see in reflection. If I remember correctly, your Lincoln memorial image map would only show where there is no environment to be reflected.

The picture didn't post, Boni.

I had Poser Pro 2014 Game Dev; after SmithMicro sold Poser off, I recall that one could downgrade to the non-Game Dev version of Pro2014. I just launched it and it still works.

But I think that downgrade option was a temporary expedient, so I don't know if you could do it now.

The download link in my previous post has SR5.2

Personally, I wouldn't waste my time for a version which doesn't have Superfly.

@onlysunshine Download Manager (aka "DLM") is not needed, and DLM would not work now, because SmithMicro has shut down the servers.

@structure has uploaded the P10 and Pro2014 installers.

P.S. There is no P14; Pro2014 is the pro version of P10. The current version of Poser is P12.

You may be misinterpreting the meaning of the bucket variable (I'm unclear as to what you intended); it is the size of a render bucket in pixelsX-times-pixelsY dimension. It is not the number of buckets which will be rendered. If I specify 16, that means that the render buckets will be 16x16 pixels square in size.
