Forgot you were in the house Wolf or I wouldn't have mentioned your bête noire. Actually I would have, but the point was that  Poser is about people IMO, not architecture or cubist neo-realism. Those things are all well and good and I want them to look good, but at the end of the day, I want Vicky, Aiko, Stephanie, Posette etc. etc., ad epiderminum to look as real as possible. That is a technical challenge unto itself which products such as SkinVue for Vue, vReel Skin for C4D & MentalRay's Fast Skin strive to achieve. Creating some new 'raytracer' without taking that into account is, again IMO, foolish.

Scrabble points for working in vestigial again but you'll never top your own 'vestigial versions' :-)
