I am taking a shine to working with Poser 13 and no Poser lights.

I should probably experiment with that a bit.  It would certain make my scenes look more natural, and would probably eliminate a lot of complications.

I tend to use HDRIs if the scene is outside or in outer space but once inside the environmental domes tend to be limited.  For indoor scenes I tend to look for around the scene to see if there are some prop lights in the model which is often the case even with older content.  I then use the physical surface and and emissive to the prop, it there no such props, or not enough I then use the light ring prop included in Afrodite-Ohki's LevelUpSuperfly product.  You could always make similar but I already use the non rendering light in the same product for finding my way around such scenes and a lot of the other lights included.

 

 

I use Poser 13 on Windows 11 - For Scene set up I use a Geekcom A5 -  Ryzen 9 5900HX, with 64 gig ram and 3 TB  storage, mini PC with final rendering done on normal sized desktop using an AMD Ryzen Threadipper 1950X CPU, Corsair Hydro H100i CPU cooler, 3XS EVGA GTX 1080i SC with 11g Ram, 4 X 16gig Corsair DDR4 Ram and a Corsair RM 100 PSU .   The desktop is in a remote location with rendering done via Queue Manager which gives me a clearer desktop and quieter computer room.
