you guys are over my head, but I am going to tag along and hopefully ask my questions intelligently. -- search for "sopack" on Renderosity, nothing found. What is the 'sopack plugin?" -- at stephan's site, he has a python script "that allows you to import light set text files created with LightGen and HDRShop. It is designed to be used with light sets that are scaled to a total density of 1." So I went to HDRShop and it seems to be a program into which you feed TIFF or other format stills and get HDRIzed file back. Cool. But I did'nt see where you can make lights. Also, is the program $600 (not necessarily unreasonable.) So, I ask, is there a way to get HDRI lighting for Poser using a phython script? ::::: Opera :::::
