I purposely marked mine as OT.
Back to the V4 thing...
Part of the reason that a lot of renders look the same is simple to figure out. A vendor makes a character set that a lot of people like. People buy it and make a render of it and are pleased with what they did. Then they post it.
If it is a good selling character set, your gonna see a lot of it in a case like that. And there is nothing wrong with that at all. After all, they paid for the character set and are having fun with it. (That is why a lot of people do it, to have fun.) The saturation V4 has, makes it even more obvious.
Poser users are a diverse group. But that diversity is not evenly spread out thou. Some people just render what they have, that could be any character set they bought. Some Poser users don't buy much of anything and make a lot of their own stuff too, but that group is far outnumbered by the load, pose and render group.
I know people that use Poser that have never used the Setup, Hair, or Face Room at all. Some don't even venture into the Material room either. They couldn't even begin to explain the file structures, etc. But they have fun with it, and thats all that really matters in the end.
Does that make their art "less art" or "less creative" than someone that uses every room? No, not at all. But you will see that same face in other renders.
Some things are easy to explain, other things are not........ <- Store -> <-Freebies->
