If you want natural landscapes and easy Poser imports, I would go with Vue or Bryce. Both work almost seamless now importing Poser figures. Neither one of the above is a modeling program per se, so if you want to create all the other stuff, then I would highly recommend Cinema 4D. There are some really cool things coming up with the new Vue Fusion and the new version of C4D in the next few months. There is a plug-in that is under $50 to help import Poser figures into C4D with all textures. Price wise, Bryce is cheap, Vue has several options ranging from cheap to getting expensive. C4D is in the middle price range if you just get the core program, but the XL bundle is what you need to accomplish all of the above. That is expensive (but worth every penny). Good luck! Peggy
