my vote would be to ask e-f about "poser figure artist". I just read their description and it sez it uses IBL, which means it might be very easy for a new user to get a very good render without a steep learning curve. but first it would be necessary to ask 'em if it comes with scene wizards to set up an IBL render, and if it comes with the images to use in IBL. if not, then I dunno ....... as that info was immediately apparent on their site. the real problem is setting up a render. trial and error is not a good technique, due to the time wasted in bad renders.
