The whole thing was an experiment: firstly to test Vue's ability to import Daz figures via Poser.

Secondly to see how unrealistic objects looked in a realistic environment. Placing the figures directly against the photographic background made for a greater contrast between real and unreal. It illustrates Agiel's point well: metal or inanimate objects work best.

Rokol, Vue 5 comes with 5 HDRI images supplied by www.doschdesign.com. Well spotted! I've used HDRI in Carrara 3 for engineering product images so I'm looking forward to comparing v4 Pro to Vue 5.

Cheers,
