Yeah, start a render doesnt render very fast with my RTX card. I stop the render and add my GTX card and then Poser freezes up after I hit the render button

Tried the OptiX option?

I restarted it it seems to be going fine now. A couple of things: The old Cycles skin shader I was using is now too shiny and makes the figure look greasy. Second The Post effects button is missing. I can only assume that they have not fully implemented this feature.

It's on the render tab

From what we've noticed is that the new cycles nodes have changed some so the older ones we had needs to be rehauled a little

Just opened up another old file and rendered. Even though the post effects are not check the image is getting denoised anyway. I will investigate further.

OK that is a bug. The Post Effects button has to be toggled on then off to register that it is off.

Hi @ghostship2

What drivers are you using ? Switching between the RTX and GTX should be seamless and you shouldn't see any problems,you can't use multiple GPUs,only single GTX or RTX GPU,if you are using RTX,please try OptiX,at first OptiX will needs to recalculate shaders which is normal and we are seen that in Blender as well when you switch from CUDA to OptiX there is recalculation which shouldn't take more than 1-2 minutes and less (depending on the scene)

You can also try play with Adaptive sampling on GTX GPUs,it works beautifully on GTX GPUs,tested that and you can render as fast as with RTX and OptiX

Freezes not sure if I have encountered,do you have enabled any chance Render in separate process ? Can you try turn off that ? Are you rendering in foreground or in background ?

Thanks,Jura

Right, I'm probably going to regret asking this but...

The requirements say Windows 10. I have Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. Any chance of P12 running on my gear?

Post FX dialog and render settings: The post FX tab shows the render settings for the displayed render. Not the scene settings. This is a over sight in development. To be sure of your scene settings open the Post FX tab, set the effects your want and click [Save to Scene Settings]. If you don't want any effects uncheck the "Apply post effects to Render" option of the SuperFly render settings.

@SamTherapy.

I've been testing again Win 7 all along. Works for me.

The first impression was very good, the standard scene was rendered in no time, the viewport is responsive, the materials looking good in the preview and I love the green dots on the dails panel. I linked my runtimes and loaded a scene i made last weekend in Poser pro 11.3. The first render was pretty quick and it looked very well, almost no grain and soft shadows. Only the glossy and blinn channels seems completely gone. Now i wanted to play a bit with the render settings and soon a firework of crashes began. I closed and restarted the program several times, but it wouldn't work. It refuses to open the render settings tab and went down. My resume for the first flight, the rendering is much faster and looks better, some adjustments are needed on the materials. The crashes are annoying, the program is not stable enough to replace the PP11. The start was good, now the fine tuning needs to be done.

First attempt at running poser 12 trial. It installed and booted fine, but when I try to render a simple scene with default render settings using just a nude LF and default lighting Poser crashes. I'm still running windows 7 on a quad core phenom II 3.41ghz and 16gb ram and a gtx 970. I updated my graphics drivers but that shouldn't matter since I wasn't trying to render with gpu. Anyone know if this is a windows 7 thing or something else I should be looking for? 11.3 runs and renders just fine for me.

After the latest update ,when I render in Background and cancel render, Poser freeze and crash. Always. Try it a few times. I use OptiX . This did not happen when render normal ( Not in background).
