WIP MEC4D - Creations for Dawn 2 and Dusk 2 , work in progress
It is Monday and another day in Poser 13 .. this time just 2 area lightings at 19% value ..
I found that there are some issues regarding alpha channels and HDRI + Light emitters that do not pass through alphas and transparency completely and that is a huge BUG ! Alpha in PBR is no a transparency , it is cut out opacity of the model and it sadly don't works correctly in any root or shaders when using HDRI or Light emitters .
so after testing my theory using regular Poser light and Area light , the result was clear .
Who needs textures anymore ? lol

Hi @Rhia474 you see everyone have own personal likings regarding things , I will have couple of different morphs for the eyebrows but they stay in the line of the eyebrows as that is a natural line where the eyebrows need to be according to the anatomy of the brown bone.
I have no idea what you looking for so give me some examples what kind of morph you would like to see
the base is this

Cath, that base is great on these last images. I probably wasn't clear, what I was asking about is the very strong brow pencil/ makeup, it looks like it is sort of painted on. I never cared for the look, but if a no makeup look is included with just the hairline, that's great. See the attached two pics, how the start of the eyebrows is unstructured and sorta messy? That's what I mean, again, sorry for being unclear.

For my Poser product not yet 100% sure hopefully in 2 max 3 weeks .

That looks like transparency nodes not playing nice with other nodes. If you post your mat setup I might be able to help. Or you could DM me and I could help offline. I never have issues like that with my custom hair/skin combos and using my hair shaders (which are a merch resource)
Hi @Ghostship thank you ! It resolved itself already .. don't know what happened but now everything working just fine again , must be a glitch , I also changed graphic card to RTX 3090 TI only from my 4 Titans X and everything render just fine now with all alpha nodes regardless. I will make more tests with HDRI only to see if any issue occurs again and let you know , thanks for the hand , really appreciate it !
Little progress on stuff , we have heat wave so not easy to work with an oven next to you ..
Poser 13 renders .. my own HDRI maps
HDRI + Area Light
HDRI Only
And made my own Cycles based shader for the hair , render in 2 min in place of 30 m , still trans mapped hair , images tonemapped after.
Some bushy eyebrows as well .
@Rhia474 , the pencil effect comes from the shadows the eyebrows creates , so shutting down shadows for the eyebrows fixed that look.
As usual still work in progress ...

Yep, those were the eyes missed from P13, definitely a game changer for many (you don't want to know how many renders I wasted until I'm finally happy with the mishmash of shaders i got, courtesy of many threads over at Rendo).
Skin looks just the right balance between dewy and dry, beautiful.
AC got fixed last night finally, just in time for today to be 103. I can think now, yay!
