another v4 test

this time more messing around with dynamic clothing. here i'm trying to get the dress to interact with the hand. tricky since there's not enough "hand" to really affect the dress. i had to play tricks with constraints which affects the way the cloth bends. it seems a bit stiff.

also, the material doesn't show on the inside of a mesh. in this case it looks like a white lining but it's really just no shader at all.

there are some probe lights making the lighting on the glass windows and the candle bulbs. there are also some point lights to make the shadows. the nice thing about probelights is it doesn't add to the render time. probe lights are a great trick!

one last thing. i finally tried using firefly's depth of field. it blows compared to vue. still, the firefly in poser 7 is much better than previous versions. i also gave it its own thread which seems to stabilize and speed up the whole thing.

i'm really looking forward to poser pro which will add network rendering. i can turn all my maya and vue render nodes into poser render nodes as well.

on a side note: i had to stop using hexagon on my mac. it's way too unstable. and that's too bad since the mac makes for a better development platform (pound for pound) than windows. and hexagon is a great little modeler, once you wrap your head around the interface. i actually didn't take to it until i started to play with maya. go figure

as always, thanks for looking

ps: credits - victoria 4, my morphs, texture from the very sweet saylor by StephanieBT, dress by me, and kyoko hair by Kozaburo (make of some of the best rendering hair you'll ever find for poser - and it's free!)
