Tired of boring, flat and grey renders in Poser 6 or 7? Get the 4blueyes IBL Brights (DAZ) - three light rigs for Poser 6+. In this pack, you will find three light rigs with varying shadow sharpness for creating realistic renders in Poser 6+. Included are three light sets with varying levels of shadows, from sharp to extra soft. The set features a main desaturated light simulating outdoor or studio light, two side lights for shadows and illuminations, and a blue backlight, which adds that special touch to your artwork. In no time at all, your renders will get the uttermost level of realism, life and cheerfulness you could only dream about! The set does NOT work in DAZ|Studio or previous versions of Poser.

Here is the lights comparison (click to view full): The difference in these lights is in how they handle the sharpness of raytraced shadows. BrightSharp has the sharpest shadow similar to direct sunlight (and is easiest on transmapped objects like hair or lace). BrightSoft has softer shadows and BrightExtraSoft has very soft barely noticeable shadows mimicing outdoor lighting conditions in shade. The BrightSoft and BrightExtraSoft might need extra rendertime in scenes with transmapped objects that are turned visible in raytracing. In the example above I have turned the hair visibility off for all three renders. Michal 4blueyes
