You can get realism out of Poser.  It's not the programs fault that users haven't worked at it.

Look, we've got this program, capable of creating really great renders...the majority of users want it to make their products pretty (either stuff they made or stuff they bought) or to make big-boobed women.  This is not news, and shouldn't be news, to anyone in the community.  How do you get them interested in making better art, when it takes longer?  We're in a society that values the instant gratification over the long, hard work.  Poser the PROGRAM is capable of some really great stuff.  It's up to the users to do it.
