"Attached is a Lightwave render with radiosity, LW with volumetric and then a Poser render. Not an exact comparison but the effort it takes to get a Poser scene into LW gives Poser the edge most of the time with me for connivence's sake. ^ ^
Hi please understand this is not a personal attack just an objective observation.
Those images posted are a perfect example of what I just described above.
Skin-hair prop- empty universe.
no other surfaces to redirect your GI bounces to the figure
They tell the viewer Nothing about
Lightwaves rendering ability...Nothing
or its long history of production proven rendering ability in shows like recent Battle Star Galactica or Frank Millers "300"
This is not to say everyone needs to be doing big VFX shots/animations for TV& Film .
But this is what these pro apps are built to do
and why they cost so much compared to poser.
Why buy C4D or Lightwave and replicate the vestigial look of poser circa 1997???
I dont understand this
Cheers
