Just playing around this morning.....no crashes this morning and faster for some reason. Sharen SteffyZ texture Yuma, Poser 5 Hair

Very nice Sharen!

here is the next one, had to reduce the size, so it may not look quite right

all though it does look like light is coming from the nose...LOL, kind of funny looking...Sharen

nice job!but seems the glowing nostril problem still exists( seems travellers prop will still be usefull in p5) The hair is looking good!is it a preset or did you do it? is it the fireflyrender?or the normal?

It is half and half, it is a preset and I changed the dynamics of it and style...Sharen

Someone pointed out to me that if you raytrace the shadows in the light properties for the light falling on the face, the nose won't glow. With the strand hair this will make it take a looong time to render. I haven't played around with it enough, but if you had one light on the face and one on the hair, then maybe you could get away from the long render time.

Her teeth seem to be glowing also. But maybe she's just using to much whitener. :)

The glowing nostrils and teeth, etc, seem to indicate Poser 5 (like the previous versions) have trouble (or are unable to) render self-shadows on small objects. Like, I still haven't seen a render when the nose casts a shadows onto the face. Likewise, the lips and muth usually shadow the teeth in real life.

This comment is not about your render Sharen -it's very nice and you always do exceptional work. But,I still feel the hair I have seen so far in Poser 5 renders to me is straw like and stiff looking. As if a ton of hair spray was been added. Perhaps its in the refection values (raytrace or mat prams)- the examples I have seen to date are plastic and just plain to shiney...or perhaps Judy just needs a good conditioner.

The eyse look so much better now. Maybe shes one of those women that like to put LEDs up their nose. Their are women like that you know.

I agree with macmullin with the hair, but I also didn't adjust any of the color or reflective color....and I also did add some hairspray cause it was a windy morning...LOL...Sharen

Hey Sharen, I've experienced that "faster" feeling too. Wonder what that's about . . .

Sharen the images look great! You really are digging right in!

wow good job, I also feel like Poser 5 gets better after the system is shut down and opened again. I had restarted but until I did a complete shut down it seemed slow. Discovered more about my computer's memory set up and got more memory and it seems to be much better repaints faster etc. I am still lost with the p5 figures, no muscle morphs and such but got my p4 figures loaded and am learning more about the program. I am also finding that the texture maps that come with judy and don seem to be different between body and head, have not figured that one out yet, but the head textures are darker....

This is another reason, I haven't installed P5 yet. Sure, at first, it seems like a buggy 1.0 release. The next day, no crashes, and it seems "faster" for some unknown reason. By next week, your computers will be singing "Daisy" and locking you out of your homes. The reason P5 doesn't include the Lost In Space robot is that it would be warning you.
