If you are using Poser 5 or 6, have a look at Nerd's atmosphere Tutorial for Poser 5. http://www.nerd3d.com/modules.php?name=Content&pa=showpage&pid=7

Are you looking for something like this? It uses a ring of 8 infinite lights parented to an invisible figure. In Poser 4 all the lights may be adjusted (for colour, shadow, intensity, etc) from master dials in the body actor. In poser 5 and 6 the adjustments will probably not work, but if your happy with the defaults it may work ok. If your interested IM me your email address and I'll send it to you, but you will have to be quick, as I go away on holiday tomorrow.

I'm no expert on lightiong, but here is my take on it.

At dusk the light will be quite difuse, there being no direct sunlight, but there will usually still be some directional quality to it, thus you need a number of lights surounding your scene, infinites are probably best. The lights on one side should be slightly dimmer (less Intensity) to give slight directionality, and to add definition to the shadows. Use a low value for the shadow map to make the shadows difuse. Use a very low value for the shadow strength (say for example 0.100 or less).

The colour of the light can vary a lot depending on atmospheric conditions and time, ranging from orange or pink through purple, take your pick, the colour should be muddy (somewhat desaturated).

I find that a circle of 8 infinites pointing slightly down (say 12) works quite well. In some circumstances you may have to add another light pointing more or less directly down.
