ClintH: Yeah. I went through the lighting tutorials last night and found the lightbulb. I had wanted that Poser scene I was composing to have two light sources: 1. Ambient moonlight from an outside window. This not only failed to bring in any light into the room but it also left my backdrop image of a jungle completely black. 2. A glow coming out of the candle illuminating the figures and objects in the room. This completely failed, I ended up with 3 spot lights just above the candle all pointing in different directions and still not getting the proper effect. I added one general light to the room at a very low setting and of course it failed to have the 'light coming out of the candle' effect. When I found the bulb in Carrara I figured this was what I needed. But I guess it or an equivelant doesn't exist in Poser. I'm still having difficulty moving things over to Carrara. The Carrara shaders have so many more choices and I find it loses transparency when you move it over. You have to rebuild that using a somewhat different method.

Truth has no value without backing by unfounded belief.
