Quote - Yeah, those were my thoughts, too! What's worse, is that this image is TINY compared to what I typically render.  I did this at 700 x 700 pixels and had to crop the edges because Poser didn't render all the way out, for some reason.

There were other issues, too.  The gown in the render is dynamic. I played with offset and depth to get it as tight-fitting as possible, but where her hands and arms come close to her bosom, the cloth simulation sort of vanished and I had to make all manner of changes to the pose.

It would take MOMENTS to create this kind of image with a camera . . .

I get DOF preview renders at about 1100 x 900 in less than 5 minutes. But I killed a 4000 x 2900 render with quality settings after 4 hours because it had only done the top 2 rows or so.
