Poser is not expensive and its has Firefly as the render. i am suprised that we even have IDL with firefly. > > i tryed a lot of times to import big files with big buildings and cars and it works. but it can not render it out with good settings in a normal time. its again Poser. IMO the focus should be on humans. its nice that we can use different materials on humans like reflection and clothes. > > but dont be mad if a mountain,watter,3 figures,hair dont render under 12 hours. the software is not designed for this. if you want it then try out Blender thats free. the new version is supposed to have even some real smoke. or maybe 3DS-max. i heard that the version 9 is still pretty good.

I guess we do differ on that. What Poser initially was and what it has become are two different things. By now Poser is designed to render a mountain,water,3 figures,hair and clothes. It is very capable of doing so. The scene shown renders in less then an hour, render settings on final, render size 2000x1200. Poser can handle it easily.

I've done scenes way bigger then this. A city,  (Stonemason's Urban Sprawl), 4 fully cothed figures with a number of props, sky and 4 detailed vehicles. Render size 2000+ and render settings on final. No sweat...... 45 minutes later all done. Or take the example, I guess you can count how much stuff is in it. Rendered in 55 minutes, scaled down to attach to this message.

If you're machine is up to it, Poser can handle it, easily. Poser can handle a lot, an amazing lot and it can render in very normal and acceptable times on a Core2Duo. The only thing Poser can't handle at the moment is IDL, it may be a bridge too far for Poser, but going by what BB's experiences are with SR1, it may not be anymore.

Just check out some of SM's promo images, they're way beyond what I'm trying to achieve.
