We all know Poser6 now has 2 render engines for the "Preview render" - ScreeD and OpenGL.
As pointed by Kingfisher, I agree the only difference in terms of quality between Poser5 "Preview render" and Poser6 "Preview render" is the Transparence (unless I'm missing something). But such introduction came with a price: Performance slowdown.
Now, in terms of performance, for a nVidia 6600 graphics engine, OpenGL render is 60% faster than ScreeD (using the WinterQueen as reference: ScreeD renders it @ 4.2 fps and OpenGL @ 2.6 fps).
My point is that I was expecting an improved quality and performance with the OpenGL render compared with the ScreeD, starting from the "eye higlights".
Sorry if my comment triggered a discussion about OpenGL render can replace FireFly render in Poser6 version. (It may in Poser9 ... lol)
