Hehe, I can't stand the DireFly renderer in Poser. I export my poser stuff for assembly and rendering in Carrara.
Alas, displacement often only works on one side of a model, and bump won't affect t ... |

DAZ Studio might be a nice alternative for you if you're looking to get started for low cost.
It allows posing of figures, arranging of scenes, and rendering.

Rattler, thickening cloth can very much be a pain.
I use the cloth room extensively in Poser, and it really doesn't work well with anything if it's not a simple 2 sided plane.

For some reason I'm not very surprised by that. Cable and broadcast executives have to be ultra-sensative about making sure everything can squeek by the relatively uptight censors.

I find I rather enjoy seeing a movie with well done CG... as long as it' not OVER done.

Also, how about animation e ... |

Ah, yes. I know what you mean about the lack of morphs with much of the DAZ clothing. I guess I don't notice that as much since I do a lot of the clothes fitting in the cloth room.
