There can be a real satisfaction to getting it right with just Poser. but sometimes you just need post work. You can do a lot in pure 3D, such as using shadows to mask bad geometry, etc., but sometimes the render just needs more pop. Also, sometimes you must render out in layers because your app chokes on massive geometry and texture files. P6's new texture reduction feature helps a lot in this regard. At the end of the day, to post or not is strictly up to the artist and their taste, or lack thereof. *P
