Are the poser 8 lighting options in the content? Saw some things on the website that I don't see in Poser 8 so figure they must be, or else I'm looking in the wrong place.

The content includes an interesting set of light combinations for the first time,
much more specific than the old sets like Country or Neutral.

List from the directory:

Outdoor_BackRim
Outdoor_SideRim
Outdoor_Underwater
Studio_Backlight
Studio_Blinds
Studio_Broadlight
Studio_Butterfly
Studio_Eyelight
Studio_ProfileLeft
Studio_ProfileRight
Studio_Rembrandt
Studio_Shortlight
Studio_SoftLeft
Studio_SoftRight
Studio_SoftTop
Studio_SplitLeft
Studio_SplitRight

Plus the same sets with Ambient Occlusion.

Ok have to get the content then. Thanks for the fast answer. On sat so have to watch my downloads or I get hit with fap.

Well since it's such a large file I will have to go to the coffee shop and get it, was only able to get about 2/3 of it last night. Wish they had broken it up. I'll tell you, if I could get anything but sat or dialup I would, this is so old.

I agree. They should have broken the download up in 500 mb chunks. I managed to get mine in the second attempt but it still took 10 hours on a good fast cable connection.

The good part is there's a lot of really NICE goodies in it ^_^

Guess I'll hit the coffee shop today with a good book...lol

yeah 10 hours and i finally got content zip its after midnite here down under in oz and I'm just starting to play with it now (there goes my attempt at curing my insomnia-red bull for breakfast!)
just added my previous runtimes and loaded up my best v4 character set render options same as my p7 that give me the best time/quality ratio and then set the new "indirect lighting" box to 2
the "pre calculating indirect light" seems to take a while then the main render just powers on.
so far i like it-i undocked al the interface controls and put them where they used to be just to keep a little continuity in my workflow the new bangs and whistles seem to be in this new render option and the library layout-kudos to smithmicro for poser 8![ dont mean to knock daz but i have never been tempted by daz studio- i dont want to learn a new app from the ground up
after using poser since early version 4]
All the best to you all!
