i noticed that if you use a backlight that it is not very bright. its actually pretty dark.
You mean just a single light from behind? You turned off or did not use IBL? Yes its dark - in fact its pitch black, because Poser does not do global illumination. So there is ZERO light reaching the front of the spheres.
If you were to do this test in a renderer that had global illumination, the front of these would be lit quite a bit by the floor.
This is why I always use at least a low-level IBL, to simulate the ambience produced by diffuse inter-reflections among the items in the scene.
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)
