Quote - the first one linked above appears to be a lite cone, but it's lacking 3D shadows, which are not intuitive nor easy to describe but you know them when you see them, and which are computationally intensive and probably not easy to achieve in poser yet, but are standard in other renderers.

Before I go nuts for nothing and tear your head off (joking of course) please explain what you meant here about "probably not easy to achieve in poser yet". We all know Poser has shadows (3 kinds) and they are all 3-dimensional, which is what 3D stands for. So I'm really confused and you must be talking about something I'd like to know about that Poser is unable to do easily.

You must be talking about something else than simple shadows, because Izi just demonstrated how great this works in Poser, and if you know what settings to use it takes 30 seconds to set up. I call that easy.

I agree the first image is terrible - why is the crease in her thigh lit up and why is there no shadow under the body? Wierd. All 3D apps can do better than that, even DS and Poser.
