This has their base hexagonal grid, with the additional guide-lines (@ 0º,30º,60º,90º)  to give 6 LH + 6 RH right-angle triangles per hex and simplify construction.

Though not much of a 'Recreational Mathematician', I was stunned by its minimal elegance...

Yes, that works too, thank you...

Again, thank you. And it is in my P_11.3, I'd simply missed it...

D'uh...

For the benefit of any-one else who's got lost thus in Cycles' maze of twisty little passages too-much alike:

In Material room (Advanced), right-click into open area to right of PoserSurface. Follow New Node, Cycles, Texture, left-click ImageTexture
Change Projection from Box to Flat. Click on Image field to browse to relevant RGB+Alpha Texture. Connect Color to Diffuse Color. Also, optionally, to Translucence_Color. Connect Alpha to Transparency. Also, optionally, to Bump. Dial to taste, render...
Take migraine meds...

Yes, a 'Gelatinous Blob', using an outer box with 'RachealMarie_in-the-flesh-seamless-tiles_74649' set's 'Flesh1 semi-transparent', which has an Alpha channel...

Looking at those parameters, I'm puzzled. My 11.3 often does wide-screen scenes, 64 or 96 pixel-samples, progressive, superfly, usually to suppress low-light fuzziness.

IMHO, you have a lot of 'max' bounces, while the 'vol' bounces seem low. I found that 'vols + buckets' seem to prefer same size, as 2^n, so 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024...

FWIW, in the end, #12's new facilities --Versus removed-- did not impress me enough to buy, and I'm deferring  #13 until eg #.2. (Would be half-price due points stash...)

Thank you.

Poser 11.3 currently doing big CPU-only render (*), so Materials not available. I'll have a hunt for facility tomorrow.

D'uh, that, alone, almost justifies upgrade...

*) I'd a big render running on networked 'Box', looked at time and realised I could run a local render overnight. is currently ~3770 / 9216...

May I point out that PhilC's wife died a few months earlier, so that family has suffered a double tragedy...

:-( :-( :-(

Could you adapt work-arounds that Google found ?

"...load them in Daz studio on a figure and use the Poser format converter to create pz2 animated poses."

An era has ended...

It's only a year or so since PhilC patched one of his registered tools for me to work with Win'10...

:-(  :-(  :-(  :-(  :-(

 "...for almost two years" before...

D'uh, I didn't realise the Gallery took tales until recently, and I've been on Rendo since ~2002...

{ Is there an emoji for 'Face Palm' ?? }

Don't know if relevant, but I recently got weird, long python error at start-up. This was just before 'library' opens. I closed Poser from my default scene, re-opened, was okay...

Mind you, I'd a lot of Chrome tabs up, and recent update there now 'sleeps' tabs, so...

Um, silly question, but how long since you did a full restart on PC ?? There's a bunch of updates about...

Plan_B is to deprecate Word's mega-bloat { Spit !! } and use plain-text: Notepad to ~100 kb, else Wordpad...

FWIW, I've tales migrated as plain-text from Apple ][+ via serial to BBC_B, on floppies to Archimedes A440/1 then to a succession of PCs...

Here's my take on plausible vampires...

And here's the first of the WIRS tales...

On the surface, a neat idea.

But, there's already the store-points system, and 'ranking' buyers sounds unpleasantly 'pyramidal'...

Sorry, include me out...

Trained as a Scientist, I find a lot of fantasy utterly hilarious as lacking in 'rigour'. Okay as 'light relief', but plausible as a 'Road Runner' Toon...

A surfeit of vampire tales of the 'transmogriflying' variety exasperated me enough to do a 'deconstruction' of the genre: Applying Clarke's 'Third Law', they're hyper-nimble, night-hunting, obligate carnivorous cryptid hominids, whose extreme porphyria got locked-in by genetic bottleneck when their now-mythical 'day-walker' cousins were exterminated by braw, Bronze-clad warriors...

;-)

I, too, find it exasperating to scroll through lots of (rather nice) Gen-9 stuff.

Must be said that DAZ do trawl some 'rested' PS stuff from their vast archives, offer such discounted.

Also, following screams of outrage, they now even check for claim that 'templates available on forum' when most were purged long, long ago...
