Poser - OFFICIAL F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2024 Dec 23 7:38 pm)
Shadow. Are you using ray-traced shadows? You can go into properties or parameters (can't remember which tab) and increase the shadow samples.
By the way, is this on another planet? You have three suns. (Two as lights behind the camera, and one evidently in the sky behind the chair.)
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)
While a single light is best for sunlight you really should also be using the environment sphere especially for outdoor renders. Head over to BB's free stuff and read all about it. Your renders will thank you :)

If it's cloudy you can use the sphere only, but use the sphere with one infinite light for the Sun.

As long as you're using a version of Poser that has IDL. Do a search in the forums here and you'll be sure to find a plethora of information on lighting with the Env sphere or emitters.
If it's a bit daunting at first you may want to try the Sunlight product at RDNA which has it all set up for you but you really should read BB's tutorials and try out his sample scene. When you have total control of lighting your scene you'll almost always get the results you want. Oh, and pick up BB's light meter too. It will help you light your scene correctly and avoid overexposed or very dark renders.
Add an infinite light for the Sun....

It depends on whether you're simulating a camera exposure set for shade or for sunlight. If you are "photographing" somebody under an umbrella, the exposure will at least triple, possibly more. Depends on the ratio of ambient to direct light.
To produce the same effect in Poser, which has no "exposure" dial, we adjust the light intensities instead.
