Hello there! I need help in making a decision. Can you help me out? I currently use Poser 6, but am dissatisfied with its rendering capabilities. I want to purchase software with a superior render engine (including radiosity and global illumination) to render my Poser-assembled scenes with. Some of the scenes will be indoor, some outdoor. I don't need any modelling capabilities neither do I need foliage, sky, water or landscape generation tools. I am never going to animate anything. I have a 2.8GHz PC with 2 Gigabytes of RAM (not a MAC). Regarding the export of Poser models: the less painful, the better. I do not have the patience to re-rig OBJ's into the new software program. Professional quality toon rendering would be a plus, but not mandatory. I have only four options: Vue 5 Infinite Carrara 5 Pro Maya 7 3D Studio Max 8 I can obtain only ONE of the four options above. Which would you advise me to purchase? My system requirements can handle any of them. Thank you.
