some people are asking me why i are you in Poser if you want better lights,.... and so on.

look at my gallery. i have rendred iron man for christ sake. a free figure that is rigged for poser. should i know learn to use 3dsmax or maya and then start learning rigging and modeling? then maybe in 5 years i would come 70% close to this iron man figure. and then in 3 years i could maybe render this out.

fact is that poser is something special. you are able to buy a figure with clothes. you are able to use a figure that is already rigged for posing . or maybe even animation.
poser has potential and i see a future where known CGI artists are using Poser. now they need to use Zbrush for fast posing.
