Well I relented and downloaded poser13  free trial...so as there is no products really with the trial...I used items from my poser11...

How is it Sanbie?  Is it very different than P11??

To me...not really...superfly renders fast for me which is brilliant...but I am having a lot of trouble with the lights...what looks awesome in the preview...when rendered they are horrible...I think I must be doing something wrong...Just deleted an image...because she looked awesome in the preview but rendered she had black spots all on her teeth...looked like she had been on drugs for a long time lmao! Her skin also was spotty with no shading...but in the preview...she had lovely smooth skin and the shading was just right...go figure...I would say those that do a lot of animation might find it good...the cloth room worked fast as well so that was 2 extra pluses for me...but is it worth the $348 upgrade price I would have to pay...mmm not sure...I will have to play some more!

Thanks for the update... too rich for my blood... I have yet to see anything lifelike to compete with Iray in Daz.  ;)

Folks, I was able to use a list of links by Aelin, and get several products for Star. I even got the 'Kitty Cat For Star'. Still looking though, as I need to increase my collection for her. Thanks for all the help!
Got some installing to do.

Wonderful Agent... I don't have the linkie anymore... Can you share it please?

I'll have to collect it for you. It might be a bit before I do, as I have other things to get done first, both Real Life and Online.

I know this has no special effects to speak of Agent...but to me the special effect is that she doesn't, finally, have black teeth...and no real look about her...I tried to upload it to the gallery at FA but it kept saying I had exceeded the file limit size!
So as I am proud of finally rendering a Poser13 render that looks half decent...you win!


Okay so I rendered a similar image of Gen 8.1 in Daz to compare...I have now decided I am NOT buying poser13...I will stick to my poser 11! Oh the image I have added is Gen 8.1 with Bridget Character loaded.

As always, these threads do not require that an image should fit into the challenge theme to be uploaded to the thread. Only that they remain PG in subject. The challenge images will be considered for the monthly winner, but other images deserve to be seen and enjoyed also.
Well done test render, Sanbie. What figure did you use?
I wonder what PDG would say, if he were to see this one. I know he is getting ready to put it through some testing.
