I've been using Poser since P5. I do a graphic novel using Poser and Photoshop Elements. I'll admit that right now, I'm waging war with 2014- it has a nasty habit of hanging and crashing- but I've found that with each new version, my end results get better- course I've got some 6 or 7 years experience with it now.

 Lighting, textures, building sets or props, it can be done in Poser. I do use an outside program- Sketch-up- to build the pieces I need for sets and props, Then I assemble them in Poser. Today, I'm using content and figures I've had in my Runtime since Poser 5- and the figures especially- Victoria 3, Micheal 3, and yes, I've used the Poser males, too, look better.
