"Easy Import" is just a way to automate some of those things. There are checkboxes on the side, the default is "Merge Material" "Merge Rigs" and "Eliminate Empties", everything else is disabled by default. So, it's just an automated way to do some steps.

Also, with clothes I would like to have the visibility options and the according masks to prevent poke-through. More work, but it pays off IMHO when using the figure not just for one image.

You will probably need professional help. If your system is infected, I would think that you should reinstall your system and transfer old data very carefully.

You can try to boot with a live Linux system to see if your screen is damaged, there are a couple of this around. They work without installation, so you won't loose your data. Still I would suggest you get professional help. Without access to your computer, Also, Windows 7 is outdated and should no longer be used.

Should work. Changing the tris to quads should result in more predictable deformations, too.

Works:

HDRI-Image on the background shader.

The twisted backgroundimage can be fixed with a mapping node. I posted the setup in my posting about the shadow catcher.

Rotation value in the mapping node: 4.900000, 3.150000, 0.000000

If the middle image is XS from D3D, I have good news for you. Snarly works on converting the D3D-Scripts for Poser 12. XS is on the list.

I did not try without subdivision, since I had a shadow artefact I wanted to get rid of.

Well I had this seams on a figure which did not have it with P11. It went away when changing to unimesh and subdivided.

Change the Skinning to "Unimesh", I set the subdivision on "1" too. But changing the skinning should work.

I doubt that the Octane plugin will work at the moment.

Ok, it works. Kind of.

It seems that the Background is no longer in sync with the horizon. It took me a while to rotate the parameters in a way that the HDRI works. In P11, the same image worked without the mapping node.

Rotation value: 4.900000, 3.150000, 0.000000, Not tested DOF yet.

I'm getting an error message on startup: An errror occurred importing addon PropSwap : ERROR: bad magic number in 'PropSwap': b'x03xf3rn'

No idea what it means.

You have some kind of auto-start Python script in one of your runtimes. The "bad magic number" means that it does not work with the actual Python version.

I was surprised that the shaders don't work as expected. To be honest, that's not a small thing, every old scene I have, every figure will need new shaders, That being said, I really like the Principled Shader in Blender, this one is included and I will use it. I do have a nearly working skin shader with it, I will post the shader and some images when I'm satisfied.

I like the Post-render effects a lot. Denoising and changing exposure in Poser is great.

The break of the old scripts was expected, I really hope that the Dimension 3d scripts will be updated soon. I don''t want to work without XA, XL and XO. I feel handycaped without them.

All in all I am satisfied with this release. I knew that most of my scripts weren't ready, the improvements to Superfly are worth the money for me. But I will update my second licence only whan and if my scipts work again.

Since I have mainly tested the rendering engine, I really cannot answer that. There should be a better support for FBX-Files, but I did not test this up to now. Also, the change of the Python version breaks all of the scripts I used to work with, I won't delete P11 in the forseeable future.

I don't think that we would find this in the material room, more likely in the render settings. But I haven't seen that either.
