@ hornet3d,

I've come to respect you as a real Gentleman by your posts, because you never go overboard, and keep it modest all the time. I'd like to thank you for that here.

You're absolutely right in most of what you wrote, except one point maybe:

Provided you have a figure that prohibits most of the errors usually made in posing it (by constraining the body parts' bend and twist limits to something more human-like), and adding a few other features, posing a figure like V4 can become a breeze.

My render above, from loading the figure, applying the mats, posing it, and rendering, was a matter of somewhat above an hour.

And "god forbid": I did have a lot of fun in doing it! :)

Thank you!

Peter

P.S.:

I don't consider my skill level as special - just a Poser user who's learned some things over the years. The open source format of Poser's files is what makes Poser special, and allows us all to tweak our work until we have what we want to achieve.

That's the main reason why I'll stick to Poser b.t.w.
