Quote - Moogal, that's a cool render. Yeah, new tech is nice. I am just fascinated by the old super Poser 4 specific look and miss it sometimes. Wish there was an archive of that weird old stuff. Renderotica used to have some wild Poser 3/4 stuff up but I'm sure those artists are long gone from the gallery now... Definitely no uncanny valley issues with Poser 4... it had such a specific lo-fi 3D look to it though... almost toon-like to my 2014 eyes.

Thanks!...

If you really like the P4 look, maybe spend more time with the preview renderer... They are very similar in terms of limitations and shading results.  P4 render can do bump maps, preview can get a similar look if bump maps are pre-converted to normal maps... P4 can use more shadow casting lights as well, but preview calculates them much faster.  Otherwise, they seem pretty similar.  My image would have looked even better with bumpmapping, but at that time I did not know how to unwrap the model (which was also a single .obj).

Here's Andy with a light casting prop rendered in preview.  Not much different from what I expect the P4 renderer would generate.
