ScottA - not sure I understand what you're saying. I was just about to post the same question. I just am getting around to using lighting (got tired of weird results so I turned off shadows). The problem is that no matter where you set the lights up manually, Poser moves them around according to a process dubbed: LightLogic (LL). LL does a line of sight (LOS) calculation to determine the optimum placement of lights behind props, below floors, etc (called LOS Defilade [LOSD])to ensure that the center of attention (COI) is darkened and the maximum amount of inappropriate shadow (IS) is cast. LL should be modified to produce less LOSD and IS.
