There are programs like E-On Software's Vue that are far better renderers than any version of Poser but are not designed with character manipulation in mind. The combination of the two is better than either program by itself.

If you don't use Poser to render your pictures, why do you use it anyway? I did this for a while and it was not a decent workflow, even with Poserfusion for C4D. I transferred the scene into C4D and converted the textures to Vray. This made the rendering quicker and the results were better, but it took forever to get all the bits and pieces together. And to adding a prop you decided to have in the scene afterwards comes close to heart surgery. That's why Poser as a whole makes the most sense to me. The thing is, the render engine Firefly was in my eyes the perfect fit in case of speed, quality and integration with the material room. Cycles is a different animal and it will take time to get things done like they did before in Firefly. So, to answering your question, without using the render engine in Poser, Poser makes no sense at all, at last in my opinion. You can take the obj file of a G8 out of DS and put it in Blender, rigg, texture and pose it there and render it with the Blender cycles engine. From my perspective this is to much work for a little benefit.

I'd rather stay in my lane than lay in my stain!
