Quote - I wonder how the comparison might differ if the mesh was something like V4 with a default morph (less realistic shapes in my mind). Would the differences make judging the 'realism' more difficult?

i think Lee Perry Smith created this model form a cyberscan, while its a very nice model there are still minor details that were not addressed , not meaning to detract at all from the work Smith does ,  i think the model isnt the issue here , for me it's that its this is a poser render, sure there are other renderers that can equal or surpass these results but look how far poser has come just in the past couple of years.. of course this wasnt done by the average user, but by a highly skilled Master... still it exemplifies that progress is being made, it excites me to imagine whats just around the corner, i think Poser has a bright future...and we all benefit from these advancements

Y'all have a great day.
