I think the skin is actually superb on all counts but especially when it is worked on, and rendered, in what is essentially and hobbyists program.  Irrespective of the software used, there is always going to be both positive and negative comment on a particular skin as it is a very subjective subject.  What I do know is that the quality of both skin and hair has improved vastly over that last few years so we could be in danger of being super critical here.

There has always been a drive to produce photo realistic renders in both Poser and DS, personally if I wanted photo realistic I would go back to photography, the only reason I don't is because I use Poser to try and invent a sci-fi world and that is impossible to photograph.  My own personal goal is to produce renders that are believable, scenes that could exist and getting anywhere near that goal is hard work someone with the limited skills I have.  I look at wonder at many of the renders here never criticise many because i am fill with wonder generally with the thought of 'if only' for my own art work.

 

 

 

I use Poser 13 on Windows 11 - For Scene set up I use a Geekcom A5 -  Ryzen 9 5900HX, with 64 gig ram and 3 TB  storage, mini PC with final rendering done on normal sized desktop using an AMD Ryzen Threadipper 1950X CPU, Corsair Hydro H100i CPU cooler, 3XS EVGA GTX 1080i SC with 11g Ram, 4 X 16gig Corsair DDR4 Ram and a Corsair RM 100 PSU .   The desktop is in a remote location with rendering done via Queue Manager which gives me a clearer desktop and quieter computer room.
