I'm guessing that the number of Poser users who have even have any normal maps to use is less than 100. Of those, maybe 5 use shaders of any complexity whatsoever. Of those, none are regular Rendo forum users.

Honestly, as I said in other posts, the normal map is something I just don't care to use, since I do my bump maps procedurally. I need to be able to generate the texture with nodes and the Bump channel does that for me perfectly, such as this peeling painted stucco. This is a gamma-corrected shader with procedural Bump.

And I don't agree that every render needs postwork to be called final. The wall here is just fine - I can't imagine how I'd improve it in postwork.


Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
