Looking at the ray-traced shadow artefact on the disc-with-a-hole I suddenly thought "the shadow size seems to be related to the distance between the mesh and the smoothed-displaced surface". Here's the mesh overlaid on a render (front view, both from screenshots of the Poser window so they do match):
Hmmm... I'd expected to see minimum difference at the vertices, maximum difference half-way between. But it seems the opposite is true ?
The 3Dcheapskate* occasionally posts sensible stuff. Usually by accident. And it usually uses Poser 11, with units set to inches. Except when it's using Poser 6 or PP2014, or when its units are set to PNU or something else.
*soon only to be available in two flavours - DAZ and Renderosity
