Perhaps I misconstrued how Ken's tool works. I purchased but have not yet installed Dawn2.
Thread: Things you want to play with in Poser... | Forum: Poser 13
I would just note that making textures for existing clothing, making poses, making facial expressions, making characters -- these are all easier than making clothing. And the skills you would develop making textures, including making promo images and submitting to the RO marketplace, are things you would need to make clothes. So that may be a more sensible place for people to start.
Regarding facial expressions, there is a little new trickiness there in LF and Dawn because of the combination of morphs and face chips. When you save an expression you want to do it in a way that doesn't erase a character; that could maybe use a tutorial or something somewhere, or at least an explanation of best practices. (Even better would be functionality in Poser that makes it easy to separate character morphs from expressions.)
Thread: HDRI Control for Poser 13+ | Forum: MarketPlace Showcase
I just got a email from PoserSoftware highlighting it, so maybe now that they are using it as a selling point, there will be some attention to the underlying functionality....
Thread: HDRI Control for Poser 13+ | Forum: MarketPlace Showcase
:(
For thumbnails, about half of my HDRIs have .jpg thumbnails with the same names in the same folder. And that's basically how thumbnails in the library work too. I would be satisfied on that front if it displayed that non-HDRI thumbnail image and not the real thing.
Thread: HDRI Control for Poser 13+ | Forum: MarketPlace Showcase
That looks pretty cool! But I have a couple of wishlist items for it!
I have a whole bunch of HDRI images. When I go to pick them, it would be super helpful to see some thumbnails so I have a general idea of what I'm getting. Often I have to try a few before I get one I like.
Second, since you can rotate the Y axis and you can also rotate the camera, it's really hard to know what part of the image you are looking at. Poser 13 has a dome that can be used to show your HDRI background, but it doesn't sync if you manually rotate the HDRI image. It would be incredibly helpful if your script could set up that dome and the XYZ controls handled both the HDRI background and that preview. If you add that, I will buy it for sure!
Thread: Poser 13 animation is bugged something bad | Forum: Poser 13
I really like the change for that reason. What I don't like is that when you open an old scene, all those checkboxes are checked so you have kind of destruction settings that you might not notice.
I have not noticed the progressive slowdown you're reporting (I'm not using a Mac though, maybe that's relevant?), even when I do multiple animations in the same scene. My #1 issue with animation is that I don't have a good way to insert frames between existing frames. Select and drag does not work right for all figures, some morphs do not carry over properly. Copy-paste does not work right if you have clothing that is set to auto scale to a figure that is not 100%, and in any case it's tedious if you just want to insert one frame in the middle. There might be a solution I'm overlooking but I haven't stumbled across it yet.
Thread: Poser 13 settings? | Forum: Poser 13
The 4090 works great in the Optix setting. Just for fun I recommend setting up a scene (using Superfly) and rendering it all three ways: CPU, GeForce, and Optix. Compare the times. It's dramatic. But afterwards you'll stick with Optix for sure.Graphics card is a GeForce RTX 4090 with 24GB. Render settings give me a choice of Nvidia GeForce, OptiXNividia GeForce, and the CPU. Which one should I pick?
Thread: Light Throw Patterns | Forum: Poser 13
It's possible to put a plane in front of your light, and give it colored transparency, so you get a projected image. But getting the shader and the light intensity and the relative positioning all correct at once is very tricky when any one of those things ruins the whole effect and you don't know which one you've got wrong. Also, you need to make an enclosure around the light and plane so there's no leakage to the side, and there isn't a hollow tube primitive. So you need to make one side of the enclosure transparent which requires a trans map.
It would be nice if there was a prop in the library with a complete gobo setup, with all the correct spacing and all you had to do was load your image. I've struggled with it a few times and never been satisfied.
The bat signal is the easy version, because there's no color and the light bleed around the outside is intentional.
Thread: Show your Poser 13 renders! | Forum: Poser 13
No need to repeat the image but the whole story is up now.I put a work-in-progress image in that other thread but here's a completed one. This is a 20-image story, the first 12 are up in my gallery already https://www.renderosity.com/users/ChromeStar/gallery , I'm posting the rest 3 per day. This particular image is #14, so sneak peek for tomorrow.

Thread: no GPU renders? - noobest noob question ever. | Forum: Poser 13
The developers could say for sure, but "no binary for GPU" sure sounds like hardware that is not supported and not going to work. Hopefully the regular non-Optix option works.

Thread: no GPU renders? - noobest noob question ever. | Forum: Poser 13
Hmm, the GPU is 10 years old. The docs say "OptiX-accelerated raytracing requires Nvidia RTX or Turing GPU, or newer." And the K3100M is Kepler, not Turing. So you might be out of luck for Optix.
Restart Poser, then pick the non-Optix GPU option. Does it work? Note that it will not work if you already got an Optix error and did not restart Poser, you need to restart Poser to clear the error.
Thread: no GPU renders? - noobest noob question ever. | Forum: Poser 13
Does CPU rendering work in P13? If so, that clarifies the issue is GPU-related and not a more general problem with the scene.
All gray seems suspicious. If you look in the upper right, is there an icon there with a dialog bubble? Click it to see the log. Is there a CUDA error? If you do have one, you'll need to close Poser and re-open it. Sometimes the skinning mode seems to be an issue here: select each figure, go on the menu to Figure, change it to Unimesh. Could also be an issue with a particular shader, the log might give a hint about which one.
