You have a good start. What version of Poser do you have and I can direct you to your next step, if you like. I've used this program since version 3. (many here since version 1) and let me warn you ... it is addictive. Pleasantly so.

Poser 8.

Agree with Boni, a good attempt. But there is quite much more to grasp when in pursuit of realistic type renders. I suggest doing some research on gamma correction and linear workflow, this will help to improve both lighting set up and texture response to those lights. And I mention this because the model in the render is exhibiting a specular bloom which is typical of too much lighting on the stage. Gc will correct this.

I had Poser 8 but can't remember it's limitations. Can you do GC in it? Can you do IDL? I had it for a few months and then upgraded to the pro version.

Unfortunately, P8 cannot do Gc, only the pro version. You would need to adapt BB's VSS skin shaders for figures and change Mat Room settings for other content to work correctly with your lights. I'm trying to remember if Snarly's older version EZSkin worked in P8. It's been so long ago.

I don't believe it does. I think I started using ezskin when I got PP2014.
