Ohhh, so it's 8 lights, and the limitation is in Preview mode. Good to know.

Sorry I wasn't clear about this - yes, whenever I say "OpenGL", it means the hardware-accelerated Poser previews - not renders. The 8 lights limits is imposed by OpenGL, so it's not Poser's fault. DS also uses OpenGL for its previews, but it's not hardware-accelerated, and therefore cannot display more complex materials like Poser can, like shadows or the effects of bump/normal maps in real-time. This has persisted in DS for the longest time, but DAZ has recently added a new hardware-accelerated real-time PBR preview mode called "Filament", which not only can preview more complex materials like Poser does, but it can preview partial PBR materials, with some limitations.

It's on Christmas that I miss micro-poly displacement the most, so I could render xmas garlands that rely on it.

I have some new renders in the works, but not sure when they will be ready. I have not had the time, or more importantly, the motivation as of late to be very productive. In the mean time, I have been moving some of my content over from DA, and today I updated many of my old ship designs from my sci-fi animation project. I have been working toward this all year, slowly, and wanted to get my older images reposted before uploading the newer ones. With the batch I uploaded today I am roughly 1/3 of the way through all my currently finished design works. I had not gotten to these sooner as I needed to replace some damaged and corrupted renders, and create background flavor text for many of them. The Space Barges represent some of my earliest builds with the old F.V.C.S. and G.V.C.S. sets... my most epic old build needs to be re-rendered though (The Revenge class Escort Carrier... built on a Celeron 833mghz and it brought that machine to it;s knees so did not see many uses then).

I hope fellow sci-fi fans will enjoy

One of Anthony's bombshells is the fact that the Marauders' Animagi stunt was not unknown in Slytherin house. Not widely known, admittedly. And it wasn't Snape who told them. But Snape's behavior was odd enough after the werewolf incident, that some his older housemates got suspicious, and decided to investigate.

And, well, Slytherins do have a reputation for cunning and resourcefulness.

The ship was clearly under power to sum degree and there was a breathable atmosphere, just about, the air was stale and unpleasant, Caoimhe guessed that the air scrubbers had not been service or replaced for some time. Apart from the missing crew members the other obvious problem with long term occupation of the freighter was the lack of any sort of gravity, it was as if the craft knew it was not essential for it's own survival and had shut it down in an effort to retain power and therefore life.
