Another free option would be to use PoseRay, which reads .pz3 files (as well as several other formats) and can convert them for use in PovRay, a free and very good raytrace render engine (with GI and HDRI simulation). I haven't used it myself, but I have seen some exceptional images produced with it. Of course there is always the option of getting another comercial application that imports .pz3 files. I use Carrara Studio 4Pro, and Transposer2, which is a very easy to use combination, with a very low learning curve if all you want to do is use it as a render engine (no native support for P6 yet, but there are some simple work arounds if you have P5, it supports import of everything including animation, dynamic hair, dynamic cloth). Carrara has GI and HDRI support, and makes getting beautiful renders from Poser files very easy. With CS 4Pro and Transposer2 you can set up a render farm with up to 5 nodes, which really improves render times. As Little Dragon mentioned, Vue Esprit 5 is another great alternative render engine. It supports the import of static images and dynamic hair/cloth. If you need Poser animation support, you can get Mover 5 which will import full animation from Poser. I haven't used Vue Esprit 5, but it is on my wish list. For a cost effective solution (free), PoseRay looks like a very good option until support for magnets and dynamic hair/cloth get included in Daz Studio. Plus PoseRay is supposed to have support for Daz Studio (possibly through .obj import/export?). In fact, now that I've looked into it, I think I'll give it a go.
