Better rendering Poser 12 has added several new features that make it easier to make your imagination reality. Part of the improved SuperFly implementation of Cycles is Adaptive Sampling. This feature automatically adjusts the render sampling based on image noise. This allows the render to automatically focus on noisy areas that need more rendering samples. It has also added a new Intel OIDN, an AI based noise reduction system. This new addition to SuperFly uses machine learning to detect and remove noise from SuperFly renders. When combined with adaptive sampling you can realize significant increases in speed and render quality. Poser 12 also has a new Post Effects palette that allows you to adjust images after they've completed rendering. You can choose to automatically apply preset effects to renders. Easier customization Since Poser 4, the Python programming language has allowed users to customize and automate the Poser experience. Python scripts can automate the boring stuff, but also make things possible that are not directly doable in Poser. For example, Python scripts can convert materials to posses or vice versa, delete lights, quickly switch cameras and more. Poser 12 updated Python to version 3.7.9 to continue the partnership. As useful as Python has been, there have been problems with past options for Poser Python app distribution that limited the ability of script creators to safely distribute their work. With Poser 12, our dev team worked with Python developers to implement protections for Python 3 scripts. These improvements were accomplished by adding automated installation support as well as giving Python developers the ability to protect their intellectual property.
