I've used vray, and while the results can be genuinely astonishing, I've found it an extremely complictated system to master with any degree of consistant results. In my case, I suppose it could be just a matter of another boob complaining about the lack of the coveted "make art" button....I don't know.

I've complained about Firefly's shortcomings often here in the Poser forum, and would readily agree to a replacement, but I'm not sure vray is the answer. If there are any technical geniuses out there, I reckon your forune would be made if you could create a reasonably user friendly rendering engine that would appeal to hobbyists as well as pros, had a comprehensible user interface and didn't require a manual over a five hundred pages long.

Is that too much to ask for? Probably. Maybe all I really need is a Krell brain boost.
