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 should give that a try, then.  I did recently try a render indoors with the skydome because I thought I saw someone (Ghostship2?) successfully do such a render; I was not as successful.

I have the Level Up light set on my wishlist, but I'll have to wait until I'm door dashing again before I can buy it. I've got a nerve injury at the moment that makes driving almost any distance at all decidedly uncomfortable.

But I very much thank you for the benefits of your experience.
