Okay sorry RHaseltine I havent had much to do with the Genesis 3 up until this come up I had loaded her a total of 3-4 times if I was lucky. I thought the Genesis 3 was optimized for Iray and loaded with the Iray mat and you wouldn't get Lighting Model unless of course you somehow added something from earlier version like the default Daz shaders you would see with the genesis 2 although you got the optional Iray optimized Mats for them with 4.8? I loaded the G3F and nothing else then loaded point light that was fine you can then add 19 G3F's and it will stay the same.... all bright and cheery. Add anything else character or prop then the items added went to the dark even Victoria 7 which is different again. Add a distant light and your back at least you could see to pose what you just added. At no stage did I have the Lighting Model available until I added Aiko or the bike prop which obviously carry the default Daz shaders.

PS I am not questioning your comments as the explanation RE the Lighting Model is spot on, I value your opinion and just curious myself now. If my OCD kicks in I'll be up all night :-)
