DaQuestiener. Well Carrara 5 Pro can sure handle Poser scene alot better than Vue Infinite, Max or the other programs you mention. It can import Poser as Poser native format and in that format you can load POSES, Clothing, hair, Props right in C5Pro. Also C5Pro can import Poser 6 Dynamic hair via the build in transposer 2 feature. The C5Pro translucency will make clothing look very realistic with the C5 render engine. Sub surface Scattering will help make the skin tones more real. All in all C5Pro can do a much better job for a very good price.
