So this is my first stab at rendering with Firefly in Poser 2012, and I have to say I'm pretty impressed with it so far. Thanks, of course, to the shader gurus around here who made multi-layer SSS a reality finally in Poser, and for IDL working as expected. I really didn't have to do much to get realistic area lighting out of a studio scene. Basically positioned two different single-sided planes in the scene with normals facing the character. One to the right, and one above and to the left of the figure, removed all the standard lights completely, and turned up the ambient value on the two planes till they lit the scene nicely. Worked out well for a quick and dirty studio lighting setup. I'm really actually enjoying Poser now, and may find myself exporting scenes to other render engines far less. Very impressive. My hat is off to the developers so far.
The image attached here were not postworked in any way other than to composite the two seperate renders into one big image, then save as jpg for upload. You may need to view full size to see all the details. In fact, I'm sure you will.
You wouldn't mind sharing the info on the model/character/textures you're using, would you? I love this image.
