i must admit i am disappointed in the so -called 'realistic' images that have been posted.

the non-organic parts of the images are pretty damn good. but the character materials are quite bad , DS and Poser can render characters to a higher quality .

the only  'near realistic' image i have seen is actually one of the promos for the product.

also the premise was an easy to use bridge to the LuxRenderer, ie build the scene in DS, export to Lux with materials intact and take advantage of the 'real-world' lighting in the unbiased render engine. needing very little tweaking.
i am reading posts that state a lot of fiddling with material settings was needed to get the image.

i think i would rather learn the materials room in both Poser and DS than pay out 80 dollars for a plugin that still needs yet another 'material' room to learn.
