Yup, that Post FX thingy keeps turning itself on by itself. :/

I'm working with the two, Poser 11 and Poser 12. Poser 12 does nice stuff, but it's kind of buggy if you're going to use your Poser 11 files, since they won't render better for now.

set clamping to 0 and see if the highlights become brighter.

I'll try, thanks!

Also:

Update: Got this from Support There's a known issue with the Blinn and Phong speculalarity nodes in SuperFly. This is the cause of the flat looking skin and will be addressed in the next release.

Well, I changed my main model to Base La Femme Simple PBR in Poser 12 and it looks better, I like how the face is rendering, but not the neck and body. I'm missing that nice highlight in the neck/collarbone, looks more realistic in my Poser 11 render. I guess it's nothing I can't change in Lightroom (post). At this point I don't know if I should wait for new patches or get into the idea of modifying my models and variations to a "P12 version".

@gabrilxdesign The default La Femme shaders work just fine. Why not just use those?

Because I have dozens of models with dozens of variations, and none use default stuff. I would have to copy and update hundreds of files just to make them work "fine" in Poser 12 since not even default La Femme convince me right now. Sounds like a lot of work I didn't think I should do. Default can be fixed with more lighting though.

My Avast also complained, LOL, but I disabled and installed.

UPDATE: I download Poser 12.0.288, as you can see guys, it's still awful.

Guys, you should contact Poser Support with these issues, the more we help, the more they can fix: https://support.posersoftware.com

Too late ? It's corrected in Poser 12.0.276

Oh, ya, I just saw the last patch notes. I'm waiting, the bugs affecting me are next:

You're welcome. They tested a scene I sent them with my model (above) and with it they found 2 bugs, they said those are now high priority for the next patch. So hopefully it will be fixed soon.

Thanks for sharing that. I would rather hear that it's a bug they intend to fix than a deprecated feature we will have to work around, or a deliberate change. That makes me more optimistic.

Update: For those having these issues like me, support told me they found the bugs and will fix them, also:

There's presently a work around but it's awkward. If you greatly increase the "scale" values on all the scatter nodes that will help the glowing eyes look.
The second part is the Blinn node is totally broken. (also a high priority bug) for the moment you could use a specular node in it's place but it would look different.

Update: I'm working this with the Poser Support team, they say they didn't expect this drastic difference. I'll keep you guys updated :)

Hi, tried that, but didn't work anyway, sadly.

one thing to be aware of, and I think this is a bug: Post render denoise is ON by default even though the box is not checked. You have to toggle the box on then back off again to turn it off. As of this moment I have not found the denoiser to be useful at all due to the way it destroys detail in the skin and makes the render look cartoonish or look like it's a Photoshop painting. Maybe they'll have controls for it soon so we can adjust how strong it works.

You're welcome. Yup, I hope a solution soon, honestly I thought "Early Access" was going to be more like, "testing new features" and not "it won't render correctly".

Yes, but this is a great side by side comparison. Thank you for posting it. Hoping for some sort of solution.
