Well, from what I have seen in a "Making of Final Fantasy", the models resolution isn't very much higher than the DAZ-Models. There are a few more polys around the eyes, mouth and ear areas but thats all. Most of the difference is an extremely high-resolution texture and most of all bump-mapping, a map for skin-shinyness and of course: A very expensive radiosity-rendersystem with a render-plant the size of a small appartment building. Of course, if the pricetag on Poser 5 would go a bit up - let's say, around 20.000 Dollars, you could actually expect to see such models - of course you would have to pay for the render-plant too, which would be another 5.000.000,- Dollars. Poser is a very powerful application the way it is at the moment. PPP is a very good way of breaking into the "Professional Market" if you consider, that a big advantage of Poser is it's enormous database of characters and it's community that no other character-programm will be able to offer. But you can't expect Poser to do things, that an application of this pricerange could not possibly do (Like Radiosity-Rendering). Joerg
