Yes veamon, I'll post it. Its just a hajime sorayama styled cyborg woman, and the chrome and water refractions are taking forever for mental ray to render. I rarely miss an opportunity to ridicule the inadequacy of the Poser rendering engine, but I have to admit that lately I've been considering that it only takes a minute or two to render a 3000x3000x300dpi complex image, complete with bumps/textures/transmaps/reflection maps, compared to hours in other programs. I realise thats because they are using raytracing renderers, radiosity, caustics, etc, but in the end it comes down to the fact that Poser renders what it was made to do, and it does it FAST. I cant complain. So I formally apologise to 'Poser' for mocking its rendering engine, which is probably the fastest (even though it lacks high-end features) of any 3D suite out there.
