The current POV-Ray beta 3.7 has many new features and fixes to radiositiy and gamma. PoseRay can work with POV-Ray beta 3.7.

Main limitations with PoseRay is the material transfer. Since Poser moved to the new material system in version 5 most of the material is hit and miss particularly on specular properties. I was not going to rewrite a material parser. Many complicated materials in Poser can be done with a single line in POV-Ray.

The key is to experiment and keep one thing in mind: If you do not use PoseRay to convert the scenes make sure they are scaled at least by 100 during the conversion. This way POV-Ray does not have problems with the very small scale Poser uses. PoseRay does this scaling by default.
