Got a question on ibl with poser 6. Does the image map over ride the settings on the light your applying the image map to or what as to colors, and or intensity. Since poser does not have photometric lights like 3d studio max. I'm trying to make pseduo-photometric lights for poser using ibl and ao. It involves using 3ds max and the idea is to make a photometic point light in max using photometric values for light bulbs (25, 60, 75, 100 watts) and putting the light at the center of a hollow sphere of a certain diameter. Then making a image map of that to use with posers ibl. Also doing the same with linear point lights in max to make fluorescent lights in poser. I'm just wondering what settings as to red, blue, green, intensity I would have to have a light in poser set at in order to get the default lighting enviroment of the image map to show up. For example would you use a red value of 1, a blue value of 1, a green value of 1, and a intensity of 100%, etc.
