Description
I was curious about how far I could push Poser in my never ending quest for realism. Not sure that I'm there yet but here is the latest effort. I titled it "Albany Night" because I used the HDRFX point light of that name in P7.
This is the V3 Mandy character showing off on the streets of Albany. Rendered in Poser 7.
Thanks for looking and commenting.

A couple of people expressed interest in the tutorials. Anyway here are a couple of links ... I thought these tutorials were pretty awesome IMHO. At least they provide some clues to using the capabilties of the program -- and it really has some. BTW the Python scripts and HDR Shop are free.

and this one is great for fixing eye problems:

Well, if you're not there you're pretty damn close! This is excellent work. Very well done!
Very realistic!
My friend you are pounding on that door of realism and as far as I am concerned your in the room. Excellent work
Yup, very photo-realistic result ! A mini-tut would be awesome, but are you sure you want to give away your trade secrets ? Great lighting and hot portrait ! ~Cheers~
Beautiful..very nicely done!!
WoW such rich texture to her skin Bravo!
Gene, hunnybunny, they just get better n better, and I'm almost speechless ! (well, almost) :o) ....this is beyond awesome!...is she live or is she Memorex :o) ...wowwwwww *** H u g s ***

Could be a photo as far as I am concerned, awesome!
Wowwwwwwww, this is superb with wonderful lighting and a very natural look. I love it and I will definately take a look at the tutorials. Thank you.
Nice expression. Good lighting.
You did great realism! EXT work!
Fantastic lighting and beautiful portrait. Amazing work.
You approche a real degre of realism !!! the skin texture is excellent as the hair..........only the eyes give me still a 3D feeling !
Brilliant image and love the lights, HDRFX lights in poser are fantastic.. :0)
Wowww what an awesome texture and render! Thanks for the tutorials too!
wonderful portrait =)
Wonderful light and beautiful portrait. Excellent work.
a fabulous and real realistic looking portrait! Lovely done!!!
strong portrait! (bit much bump maybe,imho)
No doubt that, today, the photo of a real person and a Poser closeup portrait are not 100% identical, I guess that the eyes are making the (very slight) difference. But we are very near anyway. I guess that in few years nobody could distinguish the two, but what is NOT shown here is clearly the most difficult point to solve: clothes' folds! I noticed possible problems on the top of the forehead with hair seeming to disappear inside the head, but this may be an illusion and in fact be some reflexions on the hair. Really excellent work.
Fantastic and very expressive portrait....!!! Wonderful lighting work....!!! Very realistic texture.....!!!!!
Beautiful and very realistic! Splendid portrait!!!
