Playing with the new version of Poser
I upgraded from Poser version 5 to version 6 in March, but I didn't actually install it until this week when service release 1 was available. Here's my first render with it. It's not really NWS, but it's a little risque.
What I really wanted to test here was a new lighting technique that lets you render things as if they were glowing fairly well. You just turn off all the lights, crank up the ambient light value on the glowing object, and then set all the other objects to "gather" light. Unfortunately, the gathering is very weak and somewhat spotty, so it wouldn't come out right. I ended up using a couple of point-source lights (also new) and fudging a few things. I'm still not quite happy with how the lighting turned out, but I'm going to set it aside for now, maybe to return later to fiddle with it some more.
