Alot of good points/comments made here. I'm a P6 fanatic! I can literally spend hours on a single image even before the first render. ALOT of time is spent on getting the pose just right (or close anyway) but mostly I spend a huge amount of time on the lighting. I have many light sets that I cycle thru until I find spmething that's close to what I want and from there on I start adjusting shadows, intensities, individual light angles, etc until my eyes bleed! Sometimes I just cry uncle and wind up with a unsatisfactory render (at least to me). My latest picture Irina 2 is an example - I easily spent the better part of a day on just the lighting! Sometimes the changes I make wouldn't be noticable by anyone else, but I know and if I don't like the change, I make more changes.

I'm also not a big fan of postwork - it just adds more time getting to the final product. I'm not saying I don't do postwork, I just prefer getting it mostly done upfront in Poser.

Yup, I'm definitely a Poser freak!

Cheers everyone,
