I agree. A single figure all alone without even a ground to stand on is not very interesting for IDL, although there will be some inter-reflection by the figure on itself, particularly under arms, neck, and between legs.

Do not render with ground in shadow catch only mode, which is the default in Poser. Even with just the ground, there is a lot of bounced light. You won't get any in shadow-only mode.

This V4 in T Pose is with a single infinite light + IDL and renders in a minute. There are no fancy shaders - just the V4 default color map.

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)
