The Reality plugin for Poser and DAZ has kindly been made open source<\/a> by its developer Paolo Ciccone, who has worked on it so long and diligently… <\/p>\n

“…I decided to release Reality as an Open Source Software (OSS) covered by the very permissible BSD License. I hope that this will inspire other developers to pick up the project and update it.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Does this mean the current plugin is now free? No, the existing retail packages and their licencing serials \/ ping-server stay in place for now. But Paolo continues…<\/p>\n

“I hope that over time new versions of Reality will be made and that the first thing that the developers will do is the removal of the DRM [digital rights management, i.e.: serial numbers] code. Once that is done and everybody will have a chance to download the DRM-free version, then I will shut down this website.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So free versions are coming, if someone with super-skillz is willing to spend a long weekend making, compiling and testing them. Hopefully this will mean a working Reality plugin for Poser 11.2 (it broke with 11.2, though I hear there was a third-party Windows fix) and the forthcoming Poser 12. In fact, Renderosity might consider bringing Reality into Poser 12 as a standard-issue render plugin, now that it’s fully open. It shouldn’t be that much work to fix it for 11.2, even if they don’t want to hook it up to the latest version of the free LUX renderer.<\/p>\n

Update: free Poser 11.2.x fix available<\/a> to run Reality.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
