One thing tot ry for practice on realism... scan in photos and try to duplicate them in Poser. Don't just use magazine photos, but also use snapshots taken at home. You can't get more real than that. If you can make a convincing snapshot of Vicki or a believable pic of Mike on a Webcam (that would take some postwork to make it look webcammish -- take a webcam pic with a blank piece of paper filling the view and use it to work in the effect) then you are well on your way to realism. The camera focal lengths also need to be played with. The default Poser camera settings aren't quite right for real pictures. Studio shots -- like you see in magazines -- can be simulated with a much longer focal, while human vision usesa slightly longer focal and you can get cool fish-eye effects from a lower one.
