Poser Pro

Weight mapped rigging.

Open Source figures.

Vickie 5 isn't Poser compatible out-of the box.

LuxRender.

I'm comparatively new...

 

PS go over to DAZ, and get Hexagon, Bryce Pro and Studio Pro whilst they are free, which they are until the end of the month, (or longer if it's "extended due to overwhelming demand"again)

"Oh - the manual says that? I have never read the manual - this must be why."
“I could buy better software, but then I'd have to be an artist and what's the point of that?"
"The [R'osity Forum Search] 'Default' label should actually say 'Don't Find What I'm Looking For'".
