Thanx Nancy, I know these things. I was hoping for some advice on some math wizardry applied to a Poser's light to make it appear to be an equivalent to a soft white light bulb instead. Or catch BB's attention to an old thread I re-read a few nights ago where he had created a script to convert IES info into light settings for Poser. I prefer Poser's directional lights. I'm not as wild about emitters as others seem to be. (You can't control an emitter object like you can a good old fashioned spot light). I hate that there seems to be a bug in IBL lights. I noticed it in Poser Pro 2012 and its still in Poser 10. It seems to have something to do with GC and an image connected to the IBL. It's an annoying bug because sometimes I like how an IBL looks in a render. And the reason I like IBL over a glowing Envsphere is the IBL gives me contrast control. I guess I'll have to dig up the link to that thread and haul it to the top and maybe grab BB's attention.
