Thank you.

I downloaded and installed the demo. I see they DO actually make that pretty easy allowing for easy creation of single rendered images.

But, it did not work flawlessly, especially with a large scene (forest). (Threw out errors about max polygons, which you can adjust. It solved that problem.)

With a large scene, more errors than just the polygon issue. Kernel 3 exception code, blah blah blah. 

I'm using a beefy machine and a  fast 4gb nvidia card.  The renders are amazingly quick in the view port window, for simpler images.

The lighting is completely different from whatever you took the time to light in the poser scene. It does have some very nice features and you can play with altering the lighting from within Octane. I don't know how I would even light a scene having to change it in octane anyway.

It's probably just me, as I am a noob with Poser. There is so much to know with poser to set a scene, pose, make clothes fit, light it etc. that to have that scene rendered completely differently is painful.

It is very cool to see how fast octane renders (if only it was built into poser), but I'm not sure I gain anything having to redo the lighting in Octane. There is so much to learn in just the Octane render it's mind numbing. I only just tried it for a brief period, maybe I will get it to work better.

Thanks again.
