My advice, for one thing don't put the figures against a white background.

It's kind of like photographing someone with the sun behind them.

Put a darker color or an image file and then work with the lighting to make the figure look good.

If you place an image in the background you will have to take that into consideration when setting the lights i.e. it the shadows in the image are on the left you don't want you figure lit from the left, etc.

Point taken.  I haven't tackled backgrounds yet.  :)

It's actually transparent, but converting to jpg makes it white.  It renders a whole lot faster at final settings with the ground transparent.  I've been doing this while getting a handle on poser in general - now my major thing to tackle is lighting and skin tones.
