I would highly recommend picking up the Advanced Render Settings package from Semidieu at RDNA because of the incredible power you'll find in being able to have your images render in separate passes for later compositing. Basically, what it does is allow you to split up things like color, specularity, ambient occlusion and shows (and more...) into different images then you can refine those aspects of your final piece by how you set your blend modes when you put those together as layers in Photoshop or whatever image editor you use. That and the Render Studio packages from Colm are just amazing. I've never been one to use other folks products much at all because of all the stuff we make in house for Poser, but those two things are, IMO, packages that Smith Micro ought to be bending over backwards to get into the base releases of Poser. Either of those on their own and especially together will give you a level of power over your render output that blows Poser on it's own away. -Les
