cgaxis is having a major sale on texture packages ...

Does Poser support PBR materials?

I am on Poser 11, contemplating upgrade.

You'll need to assemble the maps into the appropriate materials shaders, but yes, Poser does support PBR Materials.

Yes and quite easily. In the material room, replace the PoserSurface node for a PhysicalSurface node. All the pluggable sections will be there.

You'll want Roughness type PBR materials, with OpenGL normal maps.

Thanks Ohki and hborre,

Hope it's okay to link to it ...

Apparently, this is hundreds of dollars of materials on sale as a bundle for $49

the sale has 32 more hours to go.

There are many other sites that also offer PBR materials for free.

Forgot to mention:

-If you're using Firefly, PhysicalSurface's Subsurface Scattering and Metallic won't work correctly. In that case, you should use a PoserSurface and nodework to plug the maps.

-If you're using Superfly, displacement will not work correctly unless you subdivide the figure/object a huge lot of times.


Limitations of Poser, sadly.
