Quote - Hello all and hope your week is going well.

I was wondering if someone could give me a little advice on obtaining a more photo realistic look and feel to my renders.

Below you see a render I did in Poser 9 that will be part of a series of extreme close-up of various body parts; “hands, legs, feet, and so forth".

My problem is that in this exorcise I’m trying for a very photo realistic look and feel to my renders.

Please if anyone can give me some help with this it will be very much appreciated.

Thanks much

It looks to me like there are lights with shadows disabled in your scene. Either remove those lights or let them cast shadows (IBLs should use AO, not shadows).
