i don't know if i'm right, but you rendered the image in Vue, where you used that flare for the sun, and then imported it as a background image into Poser, where you added the bear. that's why there's no shadows around the bear, and because you put the flare in front of the trees, there's no shadows in the forest either As far as i know, you can import a picture into Vue without losing the textures, so i think that's what you should do do what Carolly said with the pose, give it a bit more 'character' and feeling, and then export the model into Vue you'll have your shadows, and the bear's expression :) that probably sounds confusing, so just IM me if is and i'll try to explain better :)
