*This is evidenced by an outright stubborn blindness in many to see that on the level of what I call 'intimate" scenes, Poser easily and proudly holds its own. In fact, a case could be made that  Poser is BETTER than those programs in this category. After all, there is significant lack of work evidenced in these areas; Max, XSI and Cinema, Carrara, Vue, Animation:Master artists do NOTE EVEN ATTEMPT to do major work in this arena.

*I'm not sure what you base this one, but allow me to point you to some renders that show otherwise to what you try to proof.......

Carrara:[

Some of these perhaps a bit less, but still.....

How about some Studio Max stuff:

Some of this stuff is sure close to Poser's 'intimate" scenes......... Also let's not forget one thing, most of the 'intimate' scenes created with poser depend very heavily on postwork, a lot of them really have nothing more to with poser at all. The artist has postworked them so much that the 'real' poser look has gone. The artist could easily achieve the same  'intimate' scenes when rendering in D/S, Carrara, Cinema4D, 3DSMax or whatever, since the postwork determines the real outcome of the image.
