Opera, try to be more nice. If you don't believe her, leave the thread for people who do. I don't, because if I worked with Poser since 2.0 my technique would be probably near to superior - or very good at least. I work with Poser (P4) for 2 months and even if have problems with setting lighting from scratch, I have far better results with tweaking someone else' sets (like those from RDNA or by SnowSultan).
From what I've seen, Jose texture is one of more realistic sets, probably only HyperReal are better. I'd sell my left (or was it right) kidney to have Jose ;).
Opera: save your nerves, it's second or third thread with the same topic. Lotsa noise.
kamilche: did you try to ask a merchant about settings he/she used for promo renders ? Lighting, camera ? Maybe you would get those for free since you're making so much noise about yours technical abilities. No offence, but instead IM-ing merchant, you making your problems public. And those are yours, not community's. If other people have same results as promos in 5 minutes, it's your problem, not everybody's.
Sorry for being a bit rude too, but did you have to make another thread with the same topic ? Didn't you get enough attention in the first one ?

Edited for typos, it's almost midnight...
