Subject: Any interest in P14 tutorials?


Dream9Studios ( ) posted Thu, 29 January 2026 at 4:25 PM · edited Sat, 07 March 2026 at 2:55 AM

I'm trying to write some tutorials for Poser 14 including how I've been rendering dynamic cloth in Poser 14 and water caustics. Would there be any interest in these tutorials? I ask because it's a little harder to do (the tutorials) than I first thought, but if there's interest, I'll get my butt in gear and work on them more. :)

The water caustics one sounds neat.    If it was me, I would work on the Water Caustics first and after that was done start on the dynamics, if it is still needed.

I agree with Richard60; water caustics would be interesting.  However, how are you doing dynamic cloth in P14 without a Cloth Room?

I use the Poser 13 cloth room and then convert the clothes to morphing, parented props then bring those props into P14. Basically.

I am interested in both but am particularly interested in water caustics.  There are a few small bugs in rendering if you are using anything but Superfly materials but I anticipate using P14 more as soon as those are corrected.  In the meantime, learning more about materials is a good thing!  =)

Here's an example of my underwater caustics with a little bit of depth cue. I'll get to work on those tutorials. :)

FYI - we'll be announcing a very different type of dynamic cloth in P14 very soon.  Might want to review that before investing too much time in that area.

Please tell me it will allow use of all old dynamic cloth objects. I bought a LOT of dynamic clothes for my figures and if none of them work in the new cloth room.... I'll be very sad.

OK, I wrote a couple and included screenshots. I did my best to proofread but I am dyslexic, so all bets are off. Please let me know how I did and what corrections I should make. Thank you!

I don't know about ALL old dynamic cloth objects, but it is being designed to work with existing cloth room objects.

I'm going to refer you to two links on creating an underwater scene and lighting it, both posted by Bagginsbill years ago.  It might prove interesting reading.

Yeah I originally used material nodes to create the caustics, but I like the extra control and effects that the caustics generator program has. I can set the depth of the water and such with the generator.

just wanted to tell you your pz3 loads fine in P13.  thank you--i was never able to get caustics working right & always had to fake it for underwater scenes.  caustic generator is quite interesting too.

Glad to hear it!! You are most welcome! :D

I'm interested in any tutorial which will help me to learn more about Poser especially those that relate to creating clothing or morphs, setting up materials and lighting.

Also would like to know if there are any material presets for the background in Poser that come with it or can be bought?

All these dynamic clothes work in Poser 14, but very poorly.

I use the Poser 13 cloth room and then convert the clothes to morphing, parented props then bring those props into P14. Basically. 
This is exactly the solution I found for creating a scene in Poser 14, switching to Poser 13 for the dynamic part, and then returning to Poser 14. It seems faster and the renders look better. But I'm disappointed that I can't announce that the dynamic clothing in my shop works in Poser 14; for now, their official use only goes up to Poser 13.
