For example, Caisson has a complete thread only on PrincipledBSDF. Using Poser13, you will find new options and possibilities added to the node, but reading this thread, you'll get a huge idea of what's possible:

There are several forum threads dealing with optimizing material shaders for Superfly rendering.  Although some of the older content with simplified node arrangements might render well in Superfly, there are significant changes that need to be made to truly create physically based rendering (PBR).  In essence, you get rid of all the hacks that were invented in earlier versions of Poser and render images with realistic responses to its 3D environment.  There are some tutorials available, but I would need to do a deep dive to find some good ones.  If you proceed as far as using Cycles in Poser, then there are many Blender YouTube tutorials available that can give you an introduction.

Someone on a Mac should be able to advise you on how to update your graphics driver for your AMD Radeon. I'm on a PC so can't help there, but you probably have to do that because streaking like that may be a sign of outdated drivers.

Yes. I'm stuck with Firefly. for now.... How do I do that? Is there any tutorial available por optimizing for Superfly? I'm almost abandon Poser for Daz but I love Poser! :( I just miss getting the good old content! Thanks you so much!

GPU or CPU?  Superfly or Firefly?

is this happening with different scenes or just the one scene?

Oh... I have no idea!>... Not an expert on tech things! But it's a AMD Radeon Pro 5700 XT 16 GB- 3.8 Ghz 8-Core Intel Core

There is a list of some changes on the purchase page here

These are some changes that might not be listed there

Removal of combine figure, find unseen polygons and reduce poligons, Path Palette from figure menu

Removal of Path Palette from object menu

Removal of path palette, keyframe category list from windows menu

Update python to version 3

Remove links to websites from help menu, many of which are now closed

Faster superfly renders

Updated cycles render engine

Added denoiser

Added adaptive sampling to superfly

Added post effects to superfly

Added choice to render over background image or transparent background

Simple tab in materials room changed to assign tab. It allows you to add an mt5 material file to multiple material groups at once.

Option when switching an image in the image node, the image texture node in cycles, or the environment texture node to change the same image for all instances of the image in that material group, any material for that figure, or for the entire scene.

Updated nodes for updated cycles.

Added principled bsdf and prinsipledhair bsdf nodes

Improved search function in library

Search Renderosity and Posersoftware stores from library

Purchases tab includes content and purchases from Posersoftware as well as Renderosity marketplace. It is not required to use this, but it is available.

Some of these might be duplicates of the market place listing. I didn't compare my list with it too closely.

As randym77 said, there is a 21 day trail you can chack it out and see if the changes are for you.

THANK YOU !!

I have Big Sur... I think I'll stay with Poser 11 for a while. I don't need Superfly. Besides, it's too slow for me THANK YOU SO MUCH for your help GUYS!!!!

Thank you so much Randym77! I really appreciate your help! Yes, your observations are enough... I think ill stay with 11 for a while

:( No.. I havent do that. I wil try. Thank you so much! donnena posted at 9:35PM Mon, 26 October 2020 - #4402238

you can try increasing the bump/displacement..... I dimly remember that helping.... maybe.

Ummm honestly dont know..Im not very good working with nodes! Sorry! Its a set of lights very cool one I got here a few years ago but I love the results, except for that. I've chenged the main light with AO. Not sure of it could be the a skin texture problem.

Do you have an AO node setup with the skin texture?

Thanks Andy! I turn it off but I like better the Ao shadows... :(

donnena posted at 3:36PM Mon, 26 October 2020 - #4402113

Try this

yes! I did.. but I like the AO results better for my shadows... it there a way that I can render WITHOUT those back dots WITH AO???!

Did you render the scene without AO on your lights?

Please help!! hborre posted at 9:07PM Sat, 24 October 2020 - #4402073

There is no image in your post.
