Better! :) IBL is definitely not an end-all of lighting in Poser. Remember that it is not HDRI, which actually contains extra-color information and uses it to get more realistic lighting. So far, I've found that complementing the IBL light with an infinite or point light at the same position as the greater light source (which, I'm guessing coincides with the IBL light direction (?)) compliments by adding the contrast, highlights that IBL seems to remove. So, although additional lights ideally decrease IBL usefulness, I think that they are a necessity. Think of IBL as the HDRI ambient color information and the other lights as pseudo HDRI luminance information.

foot. C++ makes it harder, but when you do, you blow your whole leg
off.
