The bottom line is that Poser's Firefly is not as capable (good) as most renderers. Firefly doesn't have workable GI or Radiosity, for example. There are workarounds, of course, but the better renderers can fake GI too. Sometimes its better to have the real deal and that doesn't take long to render if the software is good. Firefly is old, limited and slow. Carrara, Vue and Cinema 4D (with a plugin) are your best options for using Poser content in other programs. You'll still need to adjust the material settings. Carrara makes the skin look plastic as a default and Vue screws up the bump settings. If you just want to render Poser, Poser Pro might be the way to go (provided you have an expensive, professional 3D program and the time and patience to learn it.)
