Quote - Now that I do find a very odd statement.... first of all, you should be able to do very high quality renders with Poser, just as good as with Octane and secondly everyone else confirms it takes time to get a good render from Octane, unless you sacrifice quality.

Well, maybe I didn't state it well but I mean for me personally, I can make much higher quality renders with Octane than I can with Firefly, and I find it much easier to light the scene.  But regarding the render times, I've attached some examples of what I mean below.  Since the renderer is GPU based though, the speed depends on the video card so different cards give different render times.

Quote - Anyway, you've found a good solution for your renders, but for all the money you've spent on tha tsolution, I know many other things to do. I do think I rather spent some time learning to use Firefly and spent the $1000+ on something else :-) To each it's own ;-)

My Octane solution cost me about $300 for Octane and the Poser plugin at the time I bought it.  To me it was worth it because I'm having a lot more fun with Poser since I got it.  ;-)

All renders were originally done at 1600 x 900.  I scaled them down to fit in the thread.

 Render time:  31 seconds

 Render time: 4 minutes

Render time: 2 minutes, 30 seconds

Render time: 5 minutes 30 seconds
