I haven't used Poser for any final renders for over 3 years because I could never really get my head wraped around Poser lights. Well as a part of upgrading to PPro 2010 I told myself it was time to finally figure Poser lighting out. The attached image is my first attempt with PP 2010. You can take a look in my gallery (link above) to get an idea as to the type of lighting and soft shadows I am looking for.

This definitely needs a lot more work, but it's also the best image I've ever gotten out of Poser (Woot!)! I rendered it using IDL with 3 distant lights, and BagginsBill's envShpere. Some of the shadows just aren't comming out the way I would like (like the gold band on V4's left leg that has almost no shadow, and her feet that have gone missing), and I was hoping one of the gurus here could point me in the right direction.

The three lights are set to cast shadows and raytracing:
The main light is in front of V4 - above her to her right at 47%  intensity
A fill light in front of V4 - "below" her on her far left at 10% intensity
And a back light above and slightly behind V4 at 5% intensity

TIA for your assistance!
