Yikes, Poser looks worlds above Bryce here. Of course, if you fooled with the material lab settings, you could probably out-render Poser and get a much more realistic picture in Bryce (ambience settings and what not). It actually looks like there is NO TEXTURE on the hair in that Bryce render. Don't mean to pick a fight, =) just adding my two cents. For the record, I think Poser does a great job with rendering (especially motion blur in Pro Pack) and the engine is far too often "written-off" as a non-professional toy. You could say, Poser produces excellent quality relative to the work/time you put into it.
