lionkingcmslBehind the cut is a series of 4 renders, to show how different programs render the same scene.
Render comparisons by *LionkingCMSL on deviantART
Here I present 4 renders of the same scene using 4 different programs.
In order from top to bottom: Poser Pro 2012, Daz Studio 4, Bryce 7.1 Pro and Vue 10 Esprit.
To keep things fair the cameras were positioned as close as I could to the same location, using the same focal length.
The lights were placed in the same position, using the same type of light, point, and the same color and brightness.
The render sizes are all the same 640x480 and rendered in high quality. Both the Poser and Vue scenes were rendered at 300 dpi, but Daz Studio and Bryce do not have that option.
Two more notes on the Bryce render. While the other 3 allowed me to select the focal length, 50 mm, Bryce only allows a "Field of View" setting, which I left at 60 deg, which seems to be close to 50 mm. Another thing is that with the other three I was able to set the light intensity to 50%, but Bryce does not do percentages. You have to pick a number between 0 and 999.
Using "500", 50% on their scale, the scene was totally washed out. The same held true for "250". The final value I settled for was "25".
While neither Poser or Daz gave rendering times, Bryce clocked in at 3:54 and Vue did the render in less than 2 minutes.
I hope this gives you an idea of how the different programs render scenes differently.
My money is now in the Vue camp. :=3

The lighting in PP2012 is also nice.
The DPI count matters when I go to print renders out for sale.
