In poser this scene has one infinite light, a skydome with pretty much the same sky as you see in the picture. If I render in Poser I use IDL and it comes out exactly as I want (see attached poser render) The tree is a 3d object with the leaves as transmapped planes. That is the single tree in the scene.

I have no clue whether you can set up new lights in Octane (I was under the impression you could only increase the sunlight or turn surfaces into emitter objects, which I have not done)
The environment is set up as "texture environment". I assumed it would take the skydome, but now I am not so sure about that anymore. In the node setup there is no reference to the skydome texture.

So it is most likely my unfamiliarity with Octane which makes the poor light. But you have to start somewhere
