Anton I looked again at your next post with the photo.
"Facing a sunny window" is not at all the same as facing the sun, isn't it?
She is not actually being lit by the sun directly, right? Rather, she is being lit by the reflected light from outdoor objects that can be seen through the window.
This is like using one of those big umbrella diffusers. Of course this means that she is being lit by an "area" light, not a point light, so the highlights are very broad.
The camera exposure was obviously set to receive a lot more light. If you had the camera correctly set for shooting outdoors, I doubt we'd see any highlights on this indoor scene at all - they'd be too low.
I'm now experimenting with indoor light response. I stupidly put in some transmapped hair and let Poser go render with 4 ray-traced point lights. It is stuck now and won't cancel. Otherwise I'd show you the indoor highlights all spread out nicely.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
