Ah, yes, quality of Poser promos is something I have been screaming about for probably years now. Still very rarely I see the quality the DAZ side of this site offers if looking only at the promos. 

A lot of Poser users - and vendors - are STILL afraid to use Superfly and continue stuck in Firefly, which is why a lot of the promos for Poser look like they were made 15 years ago: because they were rendered in an engine that is over 15 years old.

Right now I render images using both SF and FF. And compare. Often the FF is better. The problems associated with producing great promos are 1) lighting 2) shade/shadow 3) use of color 4) camera angles, 5-the model.... I'm not convinced the SF is always better. Hair, candle light, SF probably better. Scenery, buildings, interiors, table settings... FF is very competitive and often faster. I even compared recently an interior room using SF, FF, and Daz. And the FF was better. Reflections were better, dim lighting was better, fabric textures were better. There's a certain knack to producing great promo renders. You either have it or you don't and it may not have anything to do with the render machine.
