Just to clearify. The light source element itself is never visible. The candle simply represents the position from which the light source emanates. The cone on the floor is a standard prop and it appears to be bright because it is sitting so close to the light source. The inverse square ratio dramatically changes the nature of the standard Poser light source - and by using it you need to change the way you handle light in any given scene. You have to deal with the same problems and obstacles that a Photographer or Cinematographer would have. Any object too close to the light will blow out the exposure and any oblect too far away will be too dark to see. The light source and the subject have to be arranged correctly in order to provide the desired mood - just like in real life. It's more difficult but the upside is that the final render should look much more natural/realistic than ever before. hmmm, we might need a Poser Light Meter..... :) take care jdc
