You got me there! :D

Quote - To me it is about realistic joints, for example. Without the need to put tons of JCMs inside that still won't make my figure perfect. I don't want anybody seeing my renders and saying:" oh hell , it's Poser again." Some JCMs on V4 aren't just enough. I don't want less, than any joint , any muscle, any tendon posed realistic and I am hoping, that we will have that technologie in Poser some day. Beeing stuck and just happy with what we got, won't help.

I paint over many of my renders in an attempt to eliminate that give-away Poser look, but it would be nice if the figures weren't so obvious. Most of the time, though, I don't think it's anatomical incorrectness so much as a very characteristic stiffness in posing. You can recognize it a mile off.

I do mostly illustrations, so strict realism isn't a criteria for me. However, I think it's a worthy goal to strive for. The day we can do renders that manage to scale the uncanny valley to be completely indistinguishable from photos is the day we can say we've finally arrived.
