No, I don't think so. I think when the bugs with IDL are ironed out it will be a whole lot easier. Tone mapping will also help the non-Pro users to get more realistic renders without the complexity of material-based gamma correction.

I'm not sure of the rationale behind the new Poser figures. I'm pretty sure that SM's intention was not to challenge the position of DAZ V4/M4, not with these figures. Time will tell what can be made of them by those who aim for realism.
