The render is much better. It probably needs a point or spotlight in front of the face to catch the reflection in the eyes. 

And as far as the cost of zbrush: The initial cost may be steep, however I've made it back in terms of sales. For custom morphs and the ease of making characters and fixes with it as vendor, it's worth the investment. This is especially true when you want to make younger characters with just one figure. 

Thanks friend!  I'm getting somewhere here lol. I think I will get Zbrush some time if I can, gonna go look at the prices now.  Hopefully it won't take ages to learn.  I do have Blacksmith's Suit 4, but it's hard on my machine, gonna install it on my laptop and try my hand on the morphs... can't remember where the serial number is... then gotta learn how to import into DS to make the inj/rem file.  Don't know how in Poser.
