Happy Posering

Me again :)

Can you please help me with this infinite light.  Any particular settings it needs besides no AO?  Intensity? Atmosphere strenght?  Leave it at default?

That is awesome!   Thank you very much

:)

Thank you RobynsVeil!  That's exactly what I was looking / waiting for.

So not a bad move to go to P9 instead of PP2012 :D

if thats going to be your final pose you should consider fixing the angular bend with the morph brush.

Thank you!  I didn't even think of that!

O_O

This is with the Texture filter quality to none and the fall-off to 0.600

Awesome!!  Thank you :)

@Vitters,

I have not been able to load the last SR but yes I am on Poser 8.  Which leads me to another question.  Is Poser 9 a huge improvement?  Being in SA the exchange rate makes it a pricey purchase so PP2012 is kinda out of the question but is P9 much better than 8?

Thank you Ladonna,  I have done that and busy doing another test render :)

Aww you're being gentle :D

Thank you.  So I leave the exisitng as is and add the extra? Or delete the existing and then add the others?

OK, wil try..

Please, please, please remove ALL AO everywhere you can find it.
Remove all AO from all lights, and or all materials.
AO is fake.
AO is fake IDL and is from previous Poser versions when there was not IDL yet.

You have the real thing = IDL, render with IDL.
Raytrace bounces 2-3
Pixel Samples 3-4

Also try; I do not know the hair u are using but try;
Connect the hair texture into Bump at .5 (my Poser units are inches, chech yoursà
Connect the hair texture also in Displacement at 0.1 in inches

Thanx.  You were pretty gentle till you hit the "connect the hair texture...." part but I am going to give it a try.

Do you have a light set you can recommend or do I just create it?

Yeah I have no idea what has changed.  This is the new hair I just bought but I've been trying for days with hair I have used many times before.

Seems Poser holds a grudge when you don't use it for a while ;)

Attached Link: Material Room

Is this the material room you were refering to?

Are my render settings good / ok / prefered ? 

Urgh this is annoying.  I will keep trying to post it but in the mean time:

yes I was using a light with AO.  I just tried it with a light with no AO and it looks much better.

I am super confused though as I've always used the same light set (with AO) and results before have never been this hideous :(

Thank you SO much
