nice different exposure

Thank you very much for the wonderful words, my dear dakotajaroo.😊💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

I like the third render, darker skin and a shine on the swimsuit 993 seconds. I've still yet to try poser.

Might install it tommorow and have a look. Looks like volumetrics take the most time, same in Daz.

Thanks for sharing your render tests :-)

I love you too, my dear CosmicEnvisions. Thank you very much for the heart-warming, overwhelming generous words, my dear friend.😊💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I'm a beginner myself with Poser, I can only tell you I might have barely scratched the very tip of the ice-berg..😊💖💖🥰🥰

Hi, Firefly still looks great :)

Only I wouldn't have any patience because cpu only...

Patience is needed, my dear young padawan..😂😊💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Thank you very much for the generous words, my dear friend.😊💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Excellent work, great compositions, all eight images are delightful 👍🙋‍♂️

Thank you very much for the generous words, my dear Savino!😊💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

I agree with Saby, all are great!

I love you too, my dear Sue. Thank you very much for the wonderful words, my dear friend.😊💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Four hours is longer than I would have patience for, but thank you for doing the test! They all look pretty great, I have to say my favorites are the ocean scenes, because I miss the ocean! It looks so beautiful in your renders.

I love you too, my dear Lynn. Thank you very much for the wonderful words, my dear friend.😊💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
By the way, the ocean scenes have the character rendered at subdivision level zero, I forgot to mention it, it was part of the test as well.😊💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Beautiful set of images, they are all very successful, my favorite is the third one… great work !!

I love you too, my dear Francoise. All the scenes were only meant to be render tests. Thank you very much for the generous words, my dear friend.😊💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Wow, some really cool looking images. Excellent group of test renders. The backgrounds are really nice. Well done!

Thank you very much for the generous words, my dear OmniFX.😊💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Firefly, eh? I will have to say that all the images look OK to my eye (I understand that they are test images and not meant to be great art). One thing you mention is using the GPU for rendering in Firefly; I confess I did no know that was an option. I know it is for Superfly and it vastly increases speed to use the GPU but Firefly? Hmmm. Will have to look into this, Marius! Thanks for sharing.

I love you too, my dear Molly. Thank you very much for the wonderful words, my dear friend.😊💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
What GPU..?.. hmm, ma' big mouth...
Anyway it reads as well GI.., yep, it seems to be possible. I haven't read the Firefly manual though, I only assumed it might be a renderman compliant render engine, so I've got the idea of feeding it some code..😂
The Superfly CPU render test was fed as well couple cereals, I assume it didn't get too fat. I had to make sure and monitor only the CPU was chewing the bits and bytes..😂

Very impressive set of scene, really love eclectic styles and wonderful details and lighting, super work and renders, always a pleasure to view....!!

I love you too, my dear Darkglass. Thank you very much for the wonderful words, my dear friend.😊💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

All of these look really great, and it's so cool that your daughter is working along with you! Great stuff here, my friend!

I love you too, my dear Rod. Thank you very much for the generous, heart-warming words my dear friend.😊💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I was sharing my daughter screen while she was creating those characters for me; she was saying and the face should look like.., this? no?, chin like this? and the jaw.., and you say she must have bones, ha?.. and I assume you prefer the.. which format to be exported?.. As I said, I have wonderful kids. Nothing in the world can beat that.😊💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

How were you able to get Firefly to use the GPU card when there is no option to select an NVidia setting for it in Poser 12 ? Firefly renders use the CPU exclusively. Superfly lets you select your card or your card with the Optix option which speeds things up even more as Molly pointed out. I have an app that monitors GPU usage. If Firefly would be doing the render only 1% is being used, same as 99% of software not using a GPU. Firefly renders use 100% of the GPU and that's why I don't use Firefly. It defeats the purpose to have a GPU card that can't be used with Poser.

Well, I was playing with Firefly and I've thought I found a parser. Just like the Avatar's used "Tsaheylu" - a Na'vi word meaning "bond" or neural connection - I slowly started talking to it. Afterwards I tried to monitor the GPU activity and see what food it prefers when playing. Some vitamins weren't helping too much and I thought I was using the wrong syntax; obviously for a bonus, couple syntax items were misspelled. This is the short story.
"Papa Jobs" - or Steve Jobs as people knew him - was a true master in creating a bond through "Tsaheylu". He early understood one can never talk to the walls, so you will always see him in his conferences truly communicating. His conferences are free to watch on youtube and I can afford that. If my blurbs make no sense, bear with me, english is not my mother language, nor a 2nd or 3rd spoken language where I live. Besides I'm just an old fart so I most probably say lots of stupid things, though..😊💖💖💖💖💖💖💖🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
