Poser 5 lighting is better and more versatile than Poser 4 lighting: it introduced raytracing, procedural materials and displacement mapping. Poser 6 lighting is better and more versatile than Poser 5 lighting: it introduces point lights (finally!), ambient occlusion, image-based lighting and soft raytracing. The advanced lighting options have a serious drawback: renders can be awfully slow (right now my Athlon64 3500+ is at about a quarter of a render, and it's been rendering for over 30 hours already!) And the scenes can't be very complex; one V3 plus dynamic hair and a simple setting is about the maximum. I hope this will be improved somewhat in the first P6 service release. I don't mind waiting for a render, but I do want to make more complex scenes!

The pen is mightier than the sword. But if you literally want to have some impact, use a typewriter
