Quote - One thing I notice about poser gallery compared with other renderers is that most (if not all) of the images look dark in poser. Even that one above looks darkish to me. Max renders have a crispness and brightness just not seen in poser scenes. Love esther

See my post above - simply make the Poser lights brighter. You can turn up the intensity beyond 100%. It often helps to open your rendered image in Photoshop to look at the histogram (it's the graph you see in the Levels dialog) to see how the brightness distribution is in your image. Jeremy Birn's digital lighting and rendering book has some good tips about that.
