Here is a link to a POVRay rendered image. You can find more at povray.org. It is certainly capable of 1st class renders. Poseray will read lights and cameras from the pz3 file. You can also add more lights. Be aware that you do have to also export your Poser figers as obj files in addition to having the pz3 but the process is easy enough. Yes, to get the full effect of POVRay, you will have to learn how to use it (which I haven't), but that is the case with any application. I've seen some beautiful Vue renders and I imagine it would be easier to learn than POVRay - plus you have landscape creation. I've never used Bryce - nice renders but I hear it is quite slow.
