Lately, I haven't managed to get anything even half way decent out of PoserPro.
I think I'm relying too much on IDL for lighting, for one thing.
I think I'm starting to hate Gamma correction, too.
Textures have no life to them -- I've never had this problem in Poser8. I used to be able to get a nice succulent skin color out of my textures - not anymore. (At least not in PoserPro 2010)
Textures that look great when I open the texture file look washed out, pale and dry after rendering. They don't look like that for other people, so it's not the textures. It's me.
I'm relatively sure it's the gamma settings, but nothing I try seems to work.
Doesn't matter which lights I use, either. Or if I use IDL or not. Everything is either underlit, or overlit. I just can't seem to get the balance right.
Maybe I need to start over. sigh
Anyone else having problems like this? That you used to get great results - and now you don't?
P.S. Doesn't seem to matter if I use a skydome and IDL, IBL, Spots or Area lights. I just can't get it right anymore. (And obviously I don't use all of the above all at once.)
Heck, I used to get great renders with one light -- not anymore. siiiiiiiiigh
