Quote - Thank you, bagginsbill, but "Set your light to inverse square falloff. "? Where do I set that option? I have Poser 8. Not seeing it.

To wimvbd, attached is a screenshot of my render settings. Not sure if I can do what you say. I get two messages: one in red saying "Hardware shading is not supported" and then at the bottom of the window it says: "Open GL hardware shading is supported".

It looks like you have a videocard which does not support this. (maybe an older graphics card or a laptop). So this is not an option for you.

Filling in for BB: You can find Inverse Square Falloff under the properties of the light (spot and point) under the title Attenuation. It is default set at Constant and can be set to linear or inverse square off. This is the amount the light intensity decreases with distance
