Quote - The major light improvement in P8 is the introduction of Global Illumination, or IDL, as a standard package.  It thoroughly replaces the need for IBL, although some individuals have managed to intergrate both IBL and IDL together with satisfactory results.  A big factor, you can use ambient glow to effectively and correctly illuminate a scene without the benefit of external lights.  Yes, you would need to invest some time relearning the new process, but it will take no time at all and well worth the effort.

I read your comment hborre and went straight to the poser manual to find out about ambient glow but the search brings up nothing. It sounds an interesting effect that I have always done post render. Could you tell us something more about it please ?
Thanks in advance
