Doctor Geep you are hilarious.

I think Poser 8 is actually quite fantastic.  Its indirect lighting actually does what it does quite fast compared to, say, cinema 4d; 3DS Max; Cinema 4d; Maya; Carrara, and especially Vue.  I have tried them all.  MUCH slower.  Modo on the other hand...  and from what I hear, what is it, Hypershade?  Those are some screaming beasts, but for what it costs and what it brings to the table, Poser is pretty fantastic.
