I actually did an entire scene in Poser from start to finish the last two days, which I don't normally do. What a chore. The experience has increased my admiration for the patience who use it all the time. The absence of properly functional orthogonal views is bad enough when posing a single figure, but when it comes to arranging lights as well, it's a nightmare. I particularly hate the clunky way the render engine works, by which for the first five minutes it just loads stuff, and you have to wait ages to see if, in fact, something is wrong because the tetxure or the lights are not quite what you intended and you have to go back and start again. With any decent renderer you get a first pass view immediately, which is often enough to detect problems. Believe me, use Poser as a posing tool and do the scene setting in Bryce or Vue and you'll save yourself a lot of pain.
