All in all, it's really obvious Poser can't achieve realism. I mean, just look at this rediculous attempt. All this talk about GI, HDRI, Radiosity, Bounce Lighting, Subsurface scattering!!!!

Shrek 2 is the first movie to use GI in a significant number of shots (80%). And they didn't even attempt realism.

Lord of the Rings was the first movie to use subsurface scattering, and that was only in the third installment. And they didn't use bounce lighting.

Numanoid walks off, wandering whether Leonardo used HDRI or Subsurface Scattering for that silly picture of the smiling chick with the funny hairdo.
