Description
Well getting a start on things and having some trouble with the glass. Can't seem to get a glass I like that renders in less then 6 months.
I do have one I really like but the minute you put reflections on a transparent object poser takes days to render it and you need to have a huge machine to pull it off.
So still looking for a balance of realism and render time vs machine size. I try to make sure every thing I do can be rendered on an affordable computer.

Nice, really nice work! EXT!
I don't have that problem but I use RayTrace and for glass about 10% reflection is all. Getting colors or bumps is a hassle though, especially bumps. This is in Poser. Bryce? Ok never mind, Carrara, there is a place to do reflections and transparencies and translucencies and caustics and... did I leave something out? Yes, not figures unless you have high end plug compatibles like Vue, Max and Cinema4D.
This is in poser 7, in Carrara it is no problem at all :-)
Looks great...most of the time if I try using the raytracer in poser 6 it gives me a message that I don't have enough memory...I do have enough but my pc can't read it..
great work!
Looks good. Cool render and composition.
hmmmmm for the moment the props look cool, about the glass yep in poser 7 with some material settings the render it´s toooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo long. :D but you can! :D
On the plus side I am very happy with the Tadpoles and Leeches :-)
I like your materials. Looks very good....exspecially the scales. Yes...Poser 7 is not the master of fast reflection render lol
Looks great!
This is wonderful. Excellent work.
Nice lookin props! I see what you mean (glass)hard to get right with poser. Im curious to see how you work this out!
Boy those props would go good in a lot of different type scene. I can see an old alchemist at work trying to turn base metal into gold or a scene from a modern day pharmacist shop! Great work!
Know what you mean about the poser Glass... Beautiful job so far!! Just be careful.... this time period had a habit of Prosecuting people as Witches for dabbling in the sciences....LOL
Beautiful composition! Sometimes I wonder, what I could do in my life if not setting up and rendering and rerendering for hours and hours ...
Another wonderful idea. But i agree with Poser and glass...i pull out every time my hair..it needs hours and the result is most of the time poor. But how i can see, you find the perfect mix. Beautiful set so far.
I've no doubt if anyone can pull it off, it'll be you my friend, awesome stuff as I come to expect from you!!
Looks terrific!!
Fantastic Mike! Oh my, are those leeches (sp) in those jars? I sure am happy medicine has progressed since then!
Looks super to me Mike
LOL That long huh. Cool work Mike
the way you got the transparent silver look on the bottles is outstanding.very realistic
Unfortunatly I do not know Poser. In DAZ Studio I have been using Refraction with only a touch of Reflection for the primary for glass and have had some very nice success.
This is wonderful. I like your materials they look great.
Looking great, excellent work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very detailed items and nice stuff, as usual.:)
I love this new set - the old fashioned blue glass a rare treat. Great job Mike, and thanks for thinking about us on the render side too, such consideration is really exemplary.
