I have a lot to learn about Superfly first. Last time I used Superfly it wasn't possible because micropoly displacement hadn't been implemented - do you know if that has changed?I've got a question for you, Snarly, and that is, do you have any intentions of rewriting Snow Machine to be compatible with SuperFly in the near future? I think I might have asked you this before but don't remember, it's been ages ago ...

As far as I know, it hasn't changed yet. Micropoly displacement still doesn't work in Superfly.
"It's not that I don't understand, it's just that the world changes too fast."
However, there is a way to turn a bump/displacement map into a normal map.

There is a displacement node now in SuperFly. How well it works is a matter of opinion. It may do what you want or maybe not. Below are two pictures the first one is a Preview of 4 Poser Sphere's at Sub D of 1, 2, 4 and 8. The second picture shows how the pattern is displaced. For a snowbank it may be ok. For super fine detail probably not.

Welcome back, Snarly.
re: micropoly displacement. Blender 5.0 final came out around Christmas 2025, and among other things bumped up the ‘micropoly displacement’ in Cycles from 'experimental' to 'official' and also appears to have re-named it. Sadly 5.0 came out only about nine days before Poser 14, and thus Poser’s newest Cycles apparently doesn’t have this feature yet (or it didn't, the last time I looked). This is because the Poser Dev team were quite sensibly not implementing stuff in Blender/Cycles that was flagged as 'experimental'.

So, hello to all those who remember me from the old days, and hello to all those who haven't a clue who I am but want to be friendly anyway :)
