i only suggested people plus simple set because that was the Original Post. Also, that's what people do with Poser. People and simple sets. The eye goes to the believability of the person.

Now the other kind of render....interiors, glass, fabric, walls, metals, reflections etc with caustics is extremely cool. But really, would you agree it is another category. I'd support trials in both.

Here was my one foray into the "second" in Poser, engaging Poser's limited tools.

no caustics, motion blur, DOF, color shadows, etc.

Isn't this type of interior more the province of Modo, Max, Cinema, etc?
