Ghost, If your parented lights are saved as part of a figure, you should give them and their shadowcams unique names. I make a lot of figures with parented lights and, unless you take precautions, poser messes them up. Adding new lights being a classic example. If you have a figure with a parented light called LIGHT:1, the instant you add new lights, it will be overwritten by poser. You have to go through the cr2 and rename each instance to 'MyLight' or whatever, and do the same with the cameras. Also, P6 has some bizarre habits with parented lights that previous versions didn't have. Despite having 3 separate menus, it doesn't show parented lights in any of them. You can only select them through the doc window or the hierarchy editor. mac
