Okay sorry I read you put light there I should have refreshed screen first as I got sidetracked.

I replicated what you did

Here is the thing that went well even tried some cloth

Then I thought I add another character so I add Genesis male and Aiko 3 Here is result.

Since I normally set my whole scene with headlamp only and in most cases export. It appears if you set a point light etc to a scene and add stuff after it does not appear to calculated the new object. this includes characters and props. Now there must be way to recaluclate the light. So you delete the pointlight and all your characters and props appear again. Add point light back and only the originals (in my case 2 x Gen 3 females. but the prop(added for good mesure) and characters I added after are back to black. You can rectify it by adding a distant light. But I guess since I set up first and leave camera, lighting and rendering to last I was not even aware of this myself.

Adding distant light would be a fix but leaving lighting to last would help considerably. I will have to look now and see if there is way to recalculate the light as I have option to do so in other software chances are Daz would have it hiding somewhere
