One thing people get wrong on indoor lighting - the sun through the windows contributes a lot. But only if you set it right.
A photo does not represent light level alone. It represents light level and exposure setting (amplification) of the recording equipment.
In Poser we have no "exposure" - only light level. So what should you do?
Amplify the light level to represent an increase in exposure.
That means, for example, that if you are indoors, the sun (infinite) light intensity should be at least 800%. I have used 1500% in some images.
This pool render was around 1000% sun light intensity.
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)
