Hello Everyone :) Thank you for the replies! Neil, thanks for confirming the "candleworks gambit" Im glad to hear I was plotting something that is possible! Ill check out that brazier too. Bobcat, I had to google for "hdri" to better understand your reply (curse of the newbie) and WOW there seems to be some incredible work underway to simulate lights! Were you offering for me to post a render of my scene so you could show me an example of hdri postwork? That sounds awesome! Mac, Holy Crap yer the creator of the DAZ medieval Chamber?? I cant believe the elbows im rubbing here! How youse doin man? :) Ive seen your item at DAZ and it looks awesome, im drooling for it ;) In my current render, im using the DAZ Courtyard but not its lights. When I got this item, it pretty much emasculated me. I would bring the courtyard in, then try to import a character, and I could never find that character. My personal Poser Guru that turned me onto the program did some kind of incredible edit and sent me a courtyard "retread" that now allows me to bring in the courtyard, bring in a character, and pan around without losing the person. This is what ive used, along with Complex Global Lighting. The result is a dark shadowed area in the back of the render scene, and thats what im trying to illuminate with a torch so the carved door can be better seen. Thanks for reading :) Logan
