Ok... I guess I need this: If someone wouldn't mind doing this for me it would be a big help:

Please show me a translucent and transparent blue sphere that glows and gives off a blueish light in Blender vs the same in Poser (I have Poser 9). And then tell me how much time and effort was given to each application to produce its best work.

If I could see a side by side it would be very helpful especially when also comparing the effort between the two.

Thanks to anyone who is willing to do this for me.
