You will still get longer render times, but with Poser 2012 you will be using the firefly render engine and the anomaly I mentioned won't be apparent. Just remember the trick is cranking up the ambient value. Also, it might help if for windows you added translucence. AND reflection if you want added effects. It may not be exactly like the sample, but I still think you will be pleased with the result.

Well no, the sample is done with 3D Max, a much better renderer than what Firefly can do. DAZ's Iray is on par with Max and Octane though based on what I've seen from people that really know their lighting ability, yet those same artists could never achieve the level of detail or quality with Poser even if they were really good at lighting. I certainly can tell the difference just by looking at their gallery of artwork alone and comparing their old renders to their newer ones which have a greater improvement. If DAZ was user friendly, I'd be using that instead simply because IRay is better than Firefly. I've gotten some fairly decent renders with Firefly, but I am sure I could do even better if I was using Iray.
