i've almost always imported my poser stuff into bryce, and it renders quite nicely. i bought lw about 3 months ago, but, it is so complex that i have been merely trying to learn the modeller, and, have not yet actually put any time into creating a render with it. however, you can build, rig/bone, texture, and animate models in it....it just has alot and a realitively steep learning curve. i know, you can also render poserfolk in max, and, i would suppose maya, as well.
