"Please Please Please take a look at the Poser galleries here and stop listening solely to the Poser forums. How many "I want total photorealism" renders do you see in the galleries? THOSE are the people in the gallery are actually buying stuff."

Agree with the above comment and just commenting as one of "THOSE people." smile

I've been using Poser (Poser 4 - PoserPro 2014) for just over 16 years...and just Poser, with a bit of Photoshop. I love to create landscapes and simple portraits. I don't use any of the complex (to me) features of the program...nodes, fitting room, hair room, etc. I use the program to relax and create pretty pictures and I don't want to spend hours trying to figure out how to render images.
