If you want nudes, your biggest problem is going to be 'painted on genitalia'. Most Poser females have no geometry down below, not even as a hip-swap in option like the males get. Very strange disparity in my opinion. The results are that female nudes -at best- tend to look like somemthing from the video game 'Sims' with the 'nude patch' applied. You might have wonderful detail everywhere else, but the viewer is going to on some level be aware that something important doesn't look right... Unless your pose and camera angle 100% covers the pubic region, it will stand out as un-natural. There are a few hack kits around, but they nearly all work by taking vertices from the nearby area and stretching them form genitalia - and this can often have its own unreal results. There are some models out there that are built with proper anatomy in that region, but they tend to have major flaws elsewhere and / or be highly unsupported. If nudes are not important, you can just go and get youurself a high resolution texture map - one that looks like it could be adjusted in photoshop for various tones without losing effect. You'll also want some basic morphing kits. Other than that, it comes down to tastes and you haven't said enough yet for me to know.
Truth has no value without backing by unfounded belief.
