Quote - Totally agree but I meant the mesh in general. There is a level you can get to with straight mesh. Then you have to break it up with detail. Musculature,, aging, quirky details are the things we remember in a glimpse. These meshes are devoid of detail to meet rendertime requirements( and our obsession with youth...;)) plus the million morphs that can be run through together in compromise.

 

I'd love to see the Poser Zbrush pipeline fixed once and for all.

I think Zbrush or Mudbox ( I personally love how intuitive Mudbox controls are) would  both great tools for adding realistic changes to Poser.  I'd like to see integration for either or both  in the Pro version pipeline.

That said, however, even a doll can be made to look like a real doll.  Point being, we need to know the secrets of how to get as realistic as possible with what we have natively, even before we expand on that.

I think it's finally possible to get  photorealistic results from Poser, just using Poser, which is why I'm excited about the PP2012 workflow.  We could always come really close before, but in the end, I always had to take it to another application  to polish the results.  Finally, I've hit a version  of Poser that seems to be able to  do everything I demand. haha.  Will see.
