it used to suck having to export into high end apps just to achieve results like these. i think people take for granted how much the Firefly renderer and material room has evolved. many dont realize that just a few years ago features like indirect lighting/GI, SSS, etc were mostly found in >$5000 apps with expensive plugins.  that fact that theyre all there in Poser in a beginner-friendly format and it still renders relatively fast is very impressive - hats off to the poser devs for bringing these features to the table in a 'hobbyist' app.

if youre on the fence about Poser - SSS is worth the pricetag alone.
