Of course, but it's been 3 years that the default lights (from Poser 4) should have been dropped. They were made to give a warm tone to the figures before shaders did the work properly, but now they just make everything look orange. Poser 8 includes pretty good shaders and I consider anything that comes with Poser 8 to be out of the box.

Poser 8 also includes a bunch of new studio light sets, although I found the IBL in them to be a little strong when rendering with tone mapping. Always render with HSV Exponential turned on. If the result looks too hot and flat, then decrease the IBL intensity a bit.

In my opinion, using the default lights, shadows disabled, and no tone mapping is tantamount to trying to make things look bad. :) You're basically still using Poser 4 then. I'm not suggesting you tweak the hell out of everything like I do, but at least a couple clicks from the library is called for, and it is still out of the box.

I have to travel today, but later I'll post my lights.

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)
