Dekker, There have been some discussions on Poser 5 lighting in Runtimedna's Poser 5 forum in the last couple months. Dr Geep has a very cool studio lighting tutorial for Poser 4 but it works just as well for Poser 5. Dr Geep might have all his tuts listed on his artist page here at Rendy. Many merchants here seem to use the DAZ3d global lighting a lot in their promo pics. It gives an even lighting which is cool for portraits like most promo pics. Be sure to get the latest patches for Poser 5 because there was an early problem with depth shadow mapping which has been fixed. ramster
