To STORM: Your idea is great but my feeling is that it will work only with existing spherical light array. If it's spherical, I can import it into Light Studio and write some code to "convert" the lights into background colours on the map. But, if it's not spherical, I can't imagine the results! So, what's about the light set you have in mind? For example the ones from DAZ? Are they spherical? In general, the global light set, are they spherical? Is there a rule, about your experience? to GraphicFoxx: I'm adding the possibility to edit the light values for each light. So you'll be able to set the shadow map, for example, different for each light. to everybody: About the rendered images, I need your help! I'm a software engineer, and only a begineer with poser. I will give the software to the beta testers and THEY will make the images! Bye! Postapulcino
