A lot of renders in the Gallery are with 2014. I guess you are the one to decide if they are photo realistic enough.

You say that with your OSX upgrades that your Poser just doesn't work anymore? What Poser version doesn't work anymore? And "trying to get Poser to do something close.." ? Not sure what that means?

Does Poser work at all for you? Some folk here say that Poser11 is better. Others don't. I'd check the messages and look at the Galleries.
