As a PRACTICAL matter, I figured out how to delete the spotlights and did delete them. That solved the washed-out problem. Then I lit with ordinary lights with shadows turned off to get the light through the roof. Even after the spots were deleted, the shadow cams still showed up on the menu. I could not figure out how to delete them. Yes, the guys at Eleysium said that the model was imported by them and had been around. But they could not recreate my problem and suggested that I try Renderosity forum. I am still puzzled by all this IN PRINCIPLE. I am trying to understand. Should I presume that the spots and shadow cams were put in by some program other than poser and then just kept when the model was made poser-friendly? Or did someone do this in poser? If I understand correctly, I can do this in poser, and it might be handy to have shadow cams. But then is there a way to delete them along with the lights. Anyway, thank you all very much for the tips. This has been quite helpful.
