SuperFly is a nice engine, but it's not ready yet. To make things more complicated, the documentation supplied with Poser 11 is very sparse and not informative for people wanting to learn. I assume it works for people already up to speed with Cycles and just looking for Poser-specific implementations. Learning from examples becomes much harder when Poser 11 ships with only the smallest number of SuperFly materials. Blender/Cycles tutorials might seem the obvious alternative, but since SuperFly does not have all the nodes Blender does you inevitably hit a roadblock somewhere. The experts might argue these can be avoided, but the manual sure doesn't tell the uninitiated how.

I'm not sure if it was announced here or not, but there is a webinar coming up on Thursday all about using Superfly.
