Hello datastorm ! The background and the floor are simple squares with image maps from some photo shots I took a couple weeks ago. I set the main light aproximatly to the same position as the sun was as I took the pictures. The main light simulation the sun is the only light which cast shadows (Dial to 1.0). There are two filling lights withou shadows and some tweaking with ambient colour which gives the "real" look which I was after in this picture. Theese pics are done with Poser 4 only, no postwork. Actually I set it up like a film stage for some animations I planning to do, so I can not use other methods like painting the shadows in postwork. I attched a pic so you can see how simple this really is. Happy posing ! Arthur.
