Thanks guys. This is very useful. My last dalliance with DS was a while ago. The rendering engine was basically a very rudimentary scanline renderer with no AO or GI capabilities which really hampers realism.

Your images are quite impressive DustRider. If you achieved that in DS with no 3rd party add-ons I'd be confident to give DS another try.

My interest in DS was sparked by the Genesis models since they are not available to Poser.
