Does Poser support the "Principled BSDF" Shader from Cycles?
-
The new "ultimate Cycles Material". "Principled BSDF". Details see here:
I could not easily locate it in the Poser Superfly. But it should be in somewhere - not?
-
@theogott No. The shader is still new even to Blender. Depending on the new Developers Poser may eventually support the shader.
-
This looks like a good way to go. Such Super-Shaders can simplify the Process in Superfly a lot.
If additionally to the Shader, such Textures like in the video shown could be added to Poser generally, the process of making basic materials could be much simplified. Btw. Blender has a new Real Time Render called Eevee ...

@theogott have you tried my free shader? It does much of what the principled shader does. I made it based on a tute from Andrew Price (the guy in the video you posted)

-
@ghostship Actually, I was going to suggest peope use one of your Uber shaders or just create their own. From the way Andrew describes it, it's basically just a compund node anyway with a few extras built in.
-
It's pretty close to what the PhyscialSurface root node in Poser is. Both are implementations of the same idea, which was published here:

@stefan I'd say the Physical Root Node seems to be a more "abridged" version of the idea.
-
@ghostship Thanks for the Link, just downloaded it.
Does SF support spectral rendering?
-
@theogott Probably not. Cycles does not do spectral rendering, but I have heard that it can be simulated.
-
@eclark1849 Yes, found it.
It can be tricked with some material nodes in Blender. But its not the real thing.See ...

@theogott Do you mean something like this?
-
We have a thread on dispersion in superfly from last year
