A while back, I did some work with VSS and shaders that Bagginsbill had done, the results were impressive, but, they nearly bought my old laptop to it’s knees. Even with more power in this one I’m still reluctant to push it again.
Below is V5 with textures from Blackhearted’s newer GND4, he’s great at skin, but the eyes are never as good, I used Dublin’s instead.
I think VSS is better. even if there’s still too much SSS. As for Vue, yeah I’ve also seen some impressive renders but I’ve got enough 3D tools to play with already. May be one day

When you work out fully how to use it, VSS is good. The main reason Vue got me interested was SkinVue, at the time, Reality didn’t look like it was going to happen for Poser and I thought SkinVue was the next best thing. One day I’ll have a play.

CHEERS!
Poser scatter and blinn
Interesting shader you have there. One thing you no longer need is that Reflection Lite Mult box checked. That’s a hangover from older versions of Poser that nobody got round to removing. The easiest way to deal with that is to download Snarlygribbly’s Scene Fixer which will take it out of the whole scene and change things like texture filtering. Crisp is supposed to be the best setting.

Below is a blonde GND with different make-up.
CHEERS!
meh no reflect so didn’t notice. Crisp setting is often too seamy for me
So… I went to try out the Subtle Poses for V5… and - they’re in the DS 4.5 format. Got’s to upgrade.
So one last render on DS 4… Tried it with just the Uberenvironment attached to a skysphere. Was going to add more lighting, but it crashed. Just as well I’m upgrading, I guess.
only this time I paid attention. It turns out I’d never really been using the proper settings. I adjusted them all to what he described and they look much better. Thing is, when you save a default scene with the lights loaded and then reload it, there are certain settings that, for some reason, Poser doesn’t retain when it starts up. I saved the lights themselves with all the correct settings and things were finally as I wanted them.
I’ve only done one new render, with PD’s Ellis, the others are re-renders of previous ones.
These close-ups of Dublin impressed me. The eyes aren’t quite so good, but I’m getting the IDL Lighting Rig set soon and it comes with some eye reflections that work really well with IDL. The texture detail is superb though.
I’ll sneak in here with a Reality Studio render. The Daz backdrop feature doesn’t appear to work with Reality, so I’m trying a work around with IC3"s wall. It seems to work. Now to try learning lighting Signnnnnnn
