I think you are going to find that everyone has an opinion on what is the best to render with :) I think properly done, Poser 5 can do some incredible renders. I think Shade does some great renders, and can import Poser setups. Vue does some very nice renders with Poser setups. What really matters, is that the person doing the render actually understands how to use their specific software. That is much more important than anything else. - Noel
