to do a commercial animation in a reasonable amount of time (4 minutes per frame) it's necessary to have dedicated rendering software and a render farm. the poser renderer is far too slow even for a render farm IMVHO. e.g. I tried to do a caustics render overnite with p7, and it was half-done in the morning. same render took about 5 minutes in carrara. well, not the same - vastly superior, as poser doesn't appear to do caustics without jumping thru hoops first. p.s. each individual frame might take 400 minutes to render, but with 100 machines in parallel, that's a net rate of 4 minutes per frame.
