If you're referring to the Axyz figures by that comment, these new figures are not simple "billboard" type "photographs", but actual 3D sculpts like the DAZ and Poser figures are.
The difference is simply that they are created via a process called photogrammetry instead of being manually sculpted.
I was referring simply to the fact that you can use all sorts of complicated techniques, but in the end, the simplest is the easiest. Wasn't actually referring to those particular figures.
But they DO have a sort of billboard look to them, as though the texture is not being affected by light in the scene (it's also a very low res texture). Perhaps the texture has a massive amount of baked in specular and shadow?
The clay renders look very good. But I'm guessing that they are not posable.
