When you have a good wife, you do not need a mistress.
Stay out of trouble and live happy ever after..

When you have IDL, stay away of IBL and AO.
Pretty-pretty simple huh?

Want realism?
Render with IDL, in BB's shere, and use Gamma corection.

For an outside scene that would be with only ONE single infinite light at reduced setting. There is only one sun, and she has no image on her surface. = Fact.

For inside scenes, a little more complicated.
Good tip/ Use as few lights as possible.

But? Do put ambient on a TV screen, a PC screen. Use the natural glow of some objects. Use natural reflections on other objects.

Example:
I am iside my living room now. It is a clear day.
I will have to find a way to render my living room, with NO lights in the Poser room.

Why??
In my real living room, there are NO lights turned on either.
All light is coming through the windows from the outside daylight. 
So? I will use the sun (One single infinite light, remember) and BB's sphere to "light" my inside room.
