Yes, I can use high res textures, great textured backgrounds, models, and all that stuff, but show me a Poser image or most other CG stuff that looks like a photo.
I've seen a few body and portrait images that are close, but the crispness and light is far from realistic in most instances.

My goal is to, at some point, have a Poser image that looks real. I've been doing portraits and a few body shots to try to achieve that, but they are far from what I see in professional portrait work....
This one is not too bad:

and perhaps, these:

but, still not totally real...the Poser "look" also contributes to the overall unreal perception.

What ideas or techniques can be suggested? Any good tutorials ???
