Well there is so much discussion about the lux renderer and the poser exporter for lux at the moment. Years ago i tried to render Poser scenes in Povray. Results wasnt satisfaying, but i didnt try to much and my knowledge about 3D was just in the beginning. This  thread (http://www.renderosity.com/mod/forumpro/showthread.php?thread_id=2807395) remembered me povray. Searching via google, i found: Povray 3.6.2 64bit PoseRay 3.12.2 / PoseRay3.13.4_beta

After dowload and installing, I took a pp2010 Scene and exported it to .obj
Loaded scene.pzz  and .obj to PoseRay without Problems.
Then using povray export & rendered it with povray (pure defaults, nothing changed)

It looks to me that there a lot of options in poseray and povray.

I would be very much interested in what others think about povray.

The current POV-Ray beta 3.7 has many new features and fixes to radiositiy and gamma. PoseRay can work with POV-Ray beta 3.7.

Main limitations with PoseRay is the material transfer. Since Poser moved to the new material system in version 5 most of the material is hit and miss particularly on specular properties. I was not going to rewrite a material parser. Many complicated materials in Poser can be done with a single line in POV-Ray.

The key is to experiment and keep one thing in mind: If you do not use PoseRay to convert the scenes make sure they are scaled at least by 100 during the conversion. This way POV-Ray does not have problems with the very small scale Poser uses. PoseRay does this scaling by default.

I experimented with the basics of the material lenguage (I don't know if it's the right name) and doing radiosity with skylight and really looks good.

this is a fast try at skin.
