I'm new to poser, I've been playing around for quite a few hours now and getting the hang of some of the basics.  I've read the stickied thread for newbies and some of the linked tutorials which have been a great help.

Now I'm stuck...  The Daz image showcasing Victoria is much more photorealistic than what I've produced.  Even with the elite character Maya for Victoria 4.2 there isn't nearly as much detail in the skin.  First I used recommended render settings in the stickied thread, then auto to max, rendered at 2500x1875.  I scaled down for posting a reasonably sized pic.
