Are you sure that's not Alan Alda?  ;) 

Hmm,... maybe, if injected to Michael 4. That might be a hit sale, then.

BTW I am pretty sure that Jennifer is a Jessica Alba clone.

That was the Wednesday preview product with 50% off, wasn't it?

It's gone from my wishlist, too. I heard they do that, but can't remember where I read that.

I don't suppose you bothered to check the thread referenced by WandW above

I did, but I lost oversight what you all need for the script to work, as it seems at the end of the other thread there's another script introduced as well as a link to another thread... but I'll check again in a quieter minute. But I felt like adding that the site is unavailable not only for the OP.

I can't reach it either... :-/

What moriador says. The person who shared the files, just shares the update/d ones later on. Buggyness comes from shipping software prematurely, because companies try to be faster than a competitor.

But I admit I had thought about that when, after a discussion about piracy in their forums, a company suddenly released products that all needed updates shortly after... ;) Maybe it was a test, maybe a trainee needed to learn a few more things...

Quote - Granted this is for M4, but I have been able to adapt it for V4 as well.

And it's free! :)

I have found a V4 beta for this one via google, but it's a locked file and I can't find its source, sorry -  so maybe contact the creator and ask if that will be available to public anytime soon?

Okay, I can't edit... so I reset the preffered scene to factory default, and imported my bad file... now Poser plays nice with me again. I don't know hat I changed that was wrong, but I'll try to avoid it in future.

As always, the problem sat in front of the computer.

Quote - IC = 100 is very slow, no matter what you're rendering

Quote - 15 pixel sampling will slow renders down considerably along with SSS which is included in Snarly's EZSkin.  You really don't need that value so high.  Irradiance caching could be lowered also. 

Also, why is your gamma correction = 1?

The setting is just one of many combinations I tried.

I opened an old file to see how long that would take, and it used those numbers. (And took about 2 minutes to render the first time I tried) The gamma is from that pz3 also - if I set GC to 2,2 there V4 and her hair and texture get superdark and grey. I don't know why.

This working file has also ten lights and is still faster than the newer one with only 1 infinite light source...

Quote - Simple question, why using ppro2012 without IDL but with SSS ?

Do I need to? I never have and always had renders I was totally okay with. And I was happy with render times...

Quote - As much as I'd like to, I can't take any credit for the shader :-) It is (very) heavily based on Bagginsbill's ideas published at RDNA.

EZSkin just makes it easier to apply, that's all.

Aaah, now I feel bad - I don't mean to accuse, I was asking because I was wondering if the script could be at fault. I tried with a V4 and just EZSkin and it took 27 minutes to render - with PP2012 standard firefly settings plus raytracing, smooth polygons and remove backfacing polys...

But I think it is something else to do with the update. Should have waited to use it. :(

And this texture (which I think relies on snarlygribbly's shader) also suffers from very slow rendering. Can somebody else or am I again doing something wrong?

tried with the above render settings and these new old ones I'll add here (they came with that old saved pz3).

Tried with a lowered min shading rate, now it's fine - thanks for refreshing my old person's memory. :)

If it were the min shading rate wouldn't lashes be effected also?

I added a render of the eyebrow problem: on the left it's rendered (area render) the rest is unrendered preview.

I guess it's more about limbs being twisted in a natural looking way opposite to some artistic gesture sets out there. And I own everyday poses that make me think they are pinup poses so it depends a bit on a persons p.o.v.

It's not a matmatics shader, I think,  but Fisty posted liquid shadeers for DAZ's 24 days of Christmas:

and a preview is here: http://forum.daz3d.com/postimages/origimage_1_3192045.jpg

Maybe you could use those as a base?

I don't know about her, but for my GND4 I needed to follow this tut video and add the fbm
