I don't know enough to provide any such help myself!
Well, don't expect much out of me other than problems. Bagginsbill is the Poser expert, I'm just the grumpy user with alot of questions. ;-)
I pretty much use Lightwave these days mostly. I've re-rigged my favorite Poser people in LW, as opposed to using the export plugins, because Ligthwave offers just sooooo much more than Poser, from rigging to animating and rendering and everything else.
However, that's ALOT of work, and LW doesn't make it easy, considering its overall poor OpenGL performance, which Poser outshines by several degrees of magnitude. Plus, the figure meshes need a certain amount of tweaking to rig well in LW.
So when I want to do Poser stills, I'd prefer to use Poser, simply because it's easier and quicker. The problem I'm having now is, I know Poser pro can render alot better than I can get it to do, but I expect more out of it and hit these problems which baffle me. I'm sure there are plenty of others who experience that too.
And not just problems. I'm convinced alot of it is bugs, but am not convinced they can't be worked around. When I get my screenshots and renders together, hopefully some of this stuff can be dealt with.
