What about Carrara 2 ???? http://www.eovia.com Eovia has added much in the way of lighting....GI , Etc...plus the renderer has been much improved. Price is pretty nice. It now does bones which can be applied to the Poser figures. I would assume if you can add bones, this means the figure can be manipulated within Carrara....thus, you can change the pose within the app.
