Quote - Where in Poser 8 are the GI settings located?  And how do you create a fill light?  Is that the same as an infinite light?

Poser calls its implementation of Global Illumination this:  "Indirect Lighting".  If you look in your render settings, there is a checkbox "Indirect Lighting" and a group of controls for same.  You should probably spend some time reading the manual to get an idea of what they do, and also this particular tutorial Vince wrote is pretty good:

If you want to learn about lighting (and you should) then this book will explain many many things:
