Unfortunately Posers shader trees are not supported with C7, so you typically will have to do some adjustment of the textures/shaders. C7 typically does a better job than C6 did, but you seldom get a prefect translation.

I just installed Poser 7 Pro a few days ago, but from what l've done with it so far, I still prefer rendering in C7 Pro. IMHO, C7 has a better render engine than Poser/FireFly. But, in the right hands either one is very capable of great renders. I'm no lighting expert, but I can get pretty decent renders out of  Carrara - I have great difficulty acheiving similar results in Poser.

For me, adjusting the textures/shaders in Carrara is a minor inconveniance to get results I like. C7 also has multipass rendering now, which is a great tool to use for improving your render in post. The HDRI and GI lighting in C7 is very easy to use and get great results. Below are links to a couple images done with light domes C7.

The next two images were done with C6 and C4 using HDRI images for lighting *(warning - the first one contains nudity!!!).

Bottom line, both applications can produce great results in the proper hands, but I find Carrara to provide better results. Hope this helps.
