Essentially LuxRender is capable of producing physically accurate images as it closely simulates the behaviour of light and how it interacts with materials and objects. For those unfamiliar with the product, it is an scene translator and exporter for LuxRender, which is a physically based unbiased render engine. Pixar subdivision surfaces (OpenSubdiv)Īlso hard to pass up over at Smith Micro, is Pret-a-3D’s Reality 3 for Poser (currently $27.95).Indirect Lighting (Global illumination).Advanced OpenGL preview – high quality shadows and materials.Fitting room (refit clothing designed from one model to another).

Physics simulation – Soft and hard body dynamics (cloth, hair, jiggly fleshy bits etc).I prefer DAZ Studio for its user interface, integrated 3Delight render engine, and native Genesis support. I love the additional features of Poser, especially the easy to use “indirect lighting”, physics and animation tools. For DAZ Studio users looking for something a little more robust, while still very cost-effective, Poser might just be the way to go. What’s So Good About Poser?Ĭonsidering the amount of content and features Poser Pro 2014 packs, this is a pretty darn good deal.
