~g~ erc is also what Ajax uses for the "Easy Pose" he has a full tutorial on thralldom for making props with it. as for lights, I use Vue to render, as at most two lights needed, the main sun/moon light and a point light or two for effects..light glowing streetlights. instead of playing around with huge quantities of lights in poser, work with terrain generators to render, they usually have a lot better rendering engine, as terrains are extremely complex objects, the lighting needs to be global, so it is set up that way. just wish terragen was up to importing obj's ect...there is the best renderer I have seen. Stormrage has looked at it and agrees, best rendering engine out there. cull's backfaces of objects, since they won't be visible or affect the scene, and renders from horizon towards the camera.
