So, too, there are other, specialized, more expensive renderers that can do soft speculars with environment maps. Poser doesn't have this but it's actually easy to do. If they would let me work on the source code for the renderer, I'm sure I could fix it. That's not what I'm working on. :)"

Quotes like this in the VSS skin opinions thread suggest this. bb has also hinted elsewhere that his involvement with P8 lies elsewhere (see earlier in this thread also).

I may be reading the hints incorrectly.
