Quote - And yes, the "Average Poser hobbyist" is either not interrested in or simply can't do all the work necessary to produce his/her own photorealistic figures.

"The native Poser figures are ugly" -er...no"

and photorealistic relates to this, how? 

The posted link to a youtube, place the amount of cash necessary in my hand and I might be tempted to try it.  Otherwise, it relates to native poser figures, how?  YEs, yes, yes, for illustrating what can be done with an unlimited amount of cash, I caught that part.  I also caught in the credits something about "laser scan", which means it should be photorealistic, as in effect, it's a 3d photograph reduced to data points. 

I guess the photorealists in the 3d world are the equivalent of the rivet counters in HO scale railroading.  "There are only sixteen rivets in the front of the smokebox and there should be seventeen!"  And the door hits them in the ass on their way out.
