It's a pity we did not carry on with the OP's subject. I think it could have led to a useful discussion covering such things as good basic lighting, and perhaps some techniques to improve the appearance of scene props and stuff that come with poor shaders or textures.

If it helps any, I'm going to be launching a thread soon showing some of the really bad and weird things about Poser rendering I've come across, and hopefully it will become a thread with some good workaround information or some good do's and dont's. I just have to gather up some screenshots and such, but watch for that in the next few days.

Thank you for the well-wishes. :-)
