Subject: Old lights in a new application?

Hi guys - Mugs here.

So I just got Poser 8 - HOORAAAYYYYYY!!! (Actually I feel kind of ashamed. I DIDN'T SELL OUT MY PRINCIPLES! - Just my pride, Lol).

Anywho - I have a vast collection of the old RUNTIME DNA (RDNA) Light sets from way back in the P4 / P5 days. Stuff like the Morgue Lights, Techno Lights, Noir Lights, Hell Lights, Corpse Lights, ... And the delightful Pastel Lights to!" Lol :lol: .

Anyway - as you probably remember - they are all in the old standard format. Question - Will they work in P8, (or P6 for that matter), or am I just whistling dixie out of my butinska.

P.S. ENGLISH BOB - I just copied every tutorial that you've ever wrote in .PDF format, as well as Miserytoo's ( I think that's her handle) - and I feel like I'm back in college cramming for a final.

The old lights still work but considering how light algorithms have changed through all the different versions of Poser, would you want to go back?

The lights in P8 are way better than any before..  I totally agree with hborre..
Take time to learn..

A lot of the old light sets are designed to get around problems that no longer apply when using IDL.

I've made myself half a dozen default light sets that I apply to a new scene, and then tweak these as I see fit. Mostly I end up with one or two lights for exterior scenes and no more than four for interiors.

The old light sets (for P4 / P5) are all really cool and spooky though. I'll keep'em because I haven't seen all that many new spooky, dramatic, or moody light sets for P6 to P8 out there yet.
Maybe I'm not lookin in the right places though?
