Still trying to get the hang of this. I have a lot more time to work on it now, having been laid off. My next job will probadly start on the first of next month, so I'm killing time learning to improve my renders (gotta love Dr. Geep).
Thanks to everyone for their patience with the new kid.

Well whatever U work on, this is nice. He looks very neat, and the clothing is just neat on him. His hand in the foreground feels like coming at U. Very nice.

Howdy, and welcome to the Poser obsession! You're doing well so far, this is a pretty good lighting setup. I'm no expert myself, but I can certainly share with you the things I've learned over the past couple of years. I recommend putting bump maps (albeit subtle ones) on almost everything, especially skin, lips and clothes. This really adds a lot of realism to a scene, and helps prevent that "plastic" look. Another simple tip for realism is depth of field. I usually fake depth of field in a paint program, so I have more control over it. Eg. in this pic, you could render your guy once without the hand, and then render just the hand as a separate image (save it as a TIF so that it includes an alpha map). Then load the two images into a paint program as two separate layers, and Gaussian blur the hand layer. You'll have to play around for a while to find the right amount of blur, but you should find the image looks less 2-dimensional, and the hand will appear to be reaching out at you...
