In my side-by-side comparison a few posts up, the lights were set at my default light set-up when I open Poser or a new document.  I set that default so long ago I forget the scheme of it.

Anyways, the VSS version on the right is 100 times better than on the left.  Perhaps a little hot, but I did nothing more than run the synchronize script.

In this picture, I used your indoor02 (I believe - I'm not at my Mac and it's the peice of info I forgot to check before leaving the house this morning)

Initially, Dixon was WAY blown-out in light.  So, I reduced the intensity of all 3 lights to exactly 1/2 of their original setting.

I also changed the spot color to pure white and the first value (can't remember name) I reduced to, I think, .4.

Also, the 2.2 value on whichever node you always talk about, I reduced to 1.8.

I remember throughout the 23 pages reading about how to fix this and that, but I have to go back and look for the info again to clean this up.  I didn't have time this morning trying to rush to work.
