I'm not saying that your render is crappy, because you're unexperienced. What I'm trying to say Poser 5 will never be able to reproduce the same quality. And to me Poser 5 is a major letdown. I thought it would make my life easier so I can model hair in Poser, import .OBJ into LightWave and render it w/ Sasquatch. Turns out Poser exports hair as polygons rather then polychains :( So, they need to be converted using some kind of script. I hoped that future versions of Poser would have something like skin shader. Oh, well, it can't do it either. And no real improvements in character animation. Unfortunately Poser still doesn't support OpenGL, either. Rendering seems to be slow, too. 5 lights with raytracing enabled in 1 hour? That is very very long. Of course, LightWave + plugins = lots of money. But look at the result. Eye candy! I just feel so disappointed. I really looked forward to get Poser 5. I'm also amazed that so many people praise CL for releasing such unfinished product Oh, well... Now I think of CL as McDonald's of 3D graphics industry
