One additional spot is used to get some shadows.

The background image is a "latlong" map I found somewhere on the net. Don't remember where. But you can find a some in your Poser texture folder under HDRVFX. For spherical images in there replace "latlong" above with "spherical".

Rendertime 35 minutes.

Ah that's cool. So I can use that type of light for IBL images as well, I think, using the "angular" mapping.

How did you know about the light type "infinitesample"? Now that I went looking for it in the Lux source code, I see it, but it wasn't in the scene file format documentation. How is it different from "infinite"? (Not Poser infinite, I mean the Lux light type.)

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)
