This is great guys.

I don't have quite as robust a machine to take that.  I do use Vue 5 Esprit, but since it does not do displacement maps (and that to me adds a valuable level of realism) I don't use it for closer images.  But I do use in in some instances.  I'm saving for 6.

ashley9803:
I can appreciate your feelings of "overload" just on the subject matter.  I have a strong feeling towards strong female heros and imagery.  It's also a way, (in this image) to redefine family and be more diverse.  I also use the term loosely to mean any strong female social structure, from the early Native Americans who for many tribes were headed by women, but used men to speak for them because the European immigrants wouldn't accept leadership from a woman.  As overused as it is, there are a lot of women out here who need the Amazon Icon to find thier own strength.  Though, again, I certainly understand your position.

Dajadues:
I feel the same way, though I don't do animations (yet) I like the organic feel of a scene being complete onto itself.  I have used photos as part of the scene periodically to test the shadow function in Poser.  I've taken the photos myself for the most part. 

Pakled:
I actually was aware of that meaning having studied historic anthropology in college.  I have considered creating a more accurate version of the true Amazon.  (though some scholars claim they are only legend and never truly existed).

Morgano:
I would love to have a system as powerful as that, and will when I actually sell some art.  And I'd love to see that scene at the Mausoleum of Haicarnassus.  Thank you so much for sharing that!
