Dr. Geep,
Perhaps I misunderstood DGS.
When you say to use .1 you mean .1 PNU, right? Because that is the correct value for dimension of a Poser one-sided square or a Poser box. I agree with that, totally, and it is very precise.
The question is, how many inches is that?
I thought that DGS declares, by fiat, that a PNU is 100 inches, not 103.20005. Are you saying you used 103.20005, not 100?
I will download your 6-poly box as you linked, but where is "Dr. Geep's Scale"? Meaning, DGS is not a prop, it's a unit system, isn't it? Analogous to inches versus centimeters?
My point is, if you are trying to displace a surface exactly 1 Poser inch to match or touch some other surface that is one Poser inch away you need to use a displacement value of 1 in the material. My point is also that the distance just discussed is 1/103.200005 PNU. Are you saying you agree with that point, or does DGS say an inch is 1/100 PNU?
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)
