Has anybody ever run across this problem in P6? I was setting up an image,then I started adjusting my light setup and then they all turned off. I tried to reload another preset light but, they where turned off as well. "What happened, what did I do? Other then reverting the image, how do you turn the lights back on?

They aren't "turning off". Poser 6 is weird and only will preview a total of 8 lights. So if you have more than that on the little globe, the lights show as almost black in the pose room. Though they do render ok.

Before I apply any lights now I go to Python and "Utilities" and delete all lights, then apply the new set. If you are using lights meant for Poser 4 or Poser 5, you will have dark, almost black previews in the pose window.

I had such trouble that someone pointed me to RDNA where others complained about the same issue last summer. I was so beside myself that Olivier was kind enough to do up a tutorial for me to explain IBL and give me some templates. You can find the tutorial here:

Thanks Acadia, this was my only beef with P6. It's been about 4 months since I last tried P6, (same problem) I'll check this link out, thanks.
