I either render in P6 or Vue5Infinite. Vue is much, much better when it comes to reflections and water, but I found that I can get some awesome effects from Poser 6 using subsurface scattering and ambient occlusion, features not present in P5. The improvement in lighting and material in P6 over P5 are at least as big as the improvements of P5 over P4. Python support in P6 is also better than in P5. Since P6 service pack 1 I haven't had much problems with bugs, though there's still a memory leak somewhere. The Poser importing capabilities of Vue are much better than those of Bryce. I ditched Bryce in favor of Vue4Pro and now Vue5Infinte. I never could get the hang of the Bryce user interface, while I was up to speed within twenty minutes in Vue4Pro. If you're going to render only in Vue, then the upgrade to P6 isn't really worth it. You can upgrade to P5 to take advantage of the cloth and hair room, you wouldn't use the improved material and lighting of P6. But if you want to use Poser to render, I'd definitely recommend P6.

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