Well, pardon me for posting something I thought was major praise for Poser Pro. I wasn't holding the image up for praise, only being impressed at the decrease in render times. As to the effect IDL has, I suggest that you don't know this to be the case unless you rendered it both ways, as I did, and SAW what a striking contrast exists. IT DOES make a major difference in the way the skin shadings render. Displacement settings ARE on.
