RedPhantom, But the render came out like this......

I'm afraid of touching something I shouldn't: I would like to keep the file to be able to use the scene for other things....

Overwriting the original file is safe provided you do not resave your scene. Initially, verify the presence of lights in the scene at render time. If lights are present, examine the Properties for each to ensure they are active, as indicated by an 'On' checkbox, signifying the emission of rays. Next, confirm that the light intensities are set above zero.  Lastly, if there are no lights, add one to monitor its effect.

As mentioned earlier, if you're using a dome, scene illumination can come from the ground and background. This can be verified in the Material Room. When using Firefly rendering, navigate to the Material Room and examine the Ambient settings on the PoserSurface node. If the value exceeds 1, then the background is contributing to the scene lighting.
