Description
... yup I have to say it so far... I love PoserPro 7...
Girl on our viewing left, rendered in PoserPro7, middle girl rendered in PoserPro7 but using the undocumented and SmithMicro unsupported global illumation feature built into Poser7. This feature is accessible through "Advanced Render Settings", a product at RDNA. The right hand girl, is a Poser 8, 32bit, slow render using global illumination. Though she has the smooth skin I like, and the soft shadows, when comparing them, "I" know what I like.
Anyways, this would not have all happened without the incredible character "Alexandria" from 'Silver' or the amazing "Hesperia Hair" from '3Dream' and 'Mairy', thanks you guys!
Cheers for the view, your call, but I'll wait for PoserPro 2010 for a faster render time. Did I mention I really hate their new content library system yet, bring back the old, or at least make it an option.

Very interesting comparison :)
Is P8 worth the price? Still not sure nice experiment thanks
Buyers remorse, understandable- but give it a shot for more than two days before you totally make up your mind! Geez! But- really the funny thing we will laugh about are the folks who glossed over any of the commentary (non-english speaking folks are of course exempt from this) and said "Great Work" not realizing that you posted a comparison. Try some different lighting, maybe one light, a dark room- lets see what Global Illumination means to Smith Micro. I am curious.
Great test!!!!!
She looks lovely ;) But I agree. The P8 one does look washed out. Looks like Ill be in the undecided camp on upgrading for awhile yet lol
I like the left one the most x
LOL funny and pretty!
Wow leave it you to drop a bomb shell that there are secret lights somewhere in poser. I have poser 5,6,7 and pro. I will have to look for those hidden lights, are they what you have been useing in the past? Was that the secret to your great looking renders? I know the other 90% is talent, but if I could get 10% better that would be great.
Yes your damned right! The new version 8 is not the best. Thanks for the comparison.
The leftside image appeals to me the most. Poser Pro is my program of choice. The contrast and shadows are the most realistic. Preference of course is individual. So far from what I have seen, I will save my money and hold off on the Poser 8 move, and stay with my Poser Pro. Another thing, I paid allot more for my Poser Pro 7, than the list for the new Poser 8. I want to support the program and platform, but really how great can this new version be? I suspect this is just another revenue booster, kinda like new versions of windows!
Very lovely! I agree with most...I like the one on the left best. The P8 one does look washed out.
thanks for the comparision , i like the 1st the best btw :))))))))
Very interesting - beautiful character too! Not much to choose between 1 and 2, but three looks like it needs contrast turning up!
I'm leaning toward the center girl... Sorry to hear poser8 takes longer to render... I don't like their poser6 library set up... I wish they would just take the F'n guessing game out of it... you should be able to see what you want and the credit should be easily accessable and viewable... thanks for the picture.
Hmmm, thanks for the effort of the comparison Deane. The girl on the right looks washed out to me so I'm guessing P8 needs things done differently so there may be a learning curve. I haven't learnt P7 yet so think I'll stick with that and Daz3D as I am just starting to figure that cranky baby out now
I am goin' down the middle on this one
Outstanding image!!! Gorgeous character and marvelous pose!!!
So unless we see triple that'll be 15.- Dulla ;-)
Fantastic, all are beautiful, excellent work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
