Realism? Hmmm... The image supplied looks more like airbrushed art to me (not that that is a bad thing). Without real lighting, there is no way Poser can come close to engines with radiosity, caustics, and HDRI. I've seen some good light sets that mimic GI well, but at what cost I wonder (in render times). The problem is in order to get Poser even to a rudimentary realism in renders takes ridiculous amounts of fiddling, preparation, and know-how whereas other (albethey more expensive) applications can achieve near photographic realism quickly and efficiently - indistinguishable photographic realism can be done with knowledgeable preparation in less than a lifetime as well. There are some indispensible features of Poser that I could not do without, but its rendering capabilities are not one of them. Kuroyume
