Hi all !

Not exactly new to Poser... rather returned to it. Last I did some Poser was in P4 (Ghasp !!) and now I'm back for all the good reasons with Poser Pro 2012 on a 64-bit system.

Things have changed to the better - indeed - and I just discovered by accidently tripping over a thread that there is InDirect Lighting (IDL) now incorporated, which makes things so much more exciting. But I know close to nothing about it ... :(

The feeble go I had at it was using the HiRes Clothplane in the generic Primitives and cranked the Ambience up to a ridiculous level in Material Room and that's how far my experience and knowledge about IDL goes.

Now, to not bog down this forum with nooby questions - could someone please point me to some good learning resourses about IDL ?

Found one over at RDNA but all the images were gone, so ...

What I have understood is: You can use any of the Primitives to produce IDL - right ? You can use any geometry in the scene with a material defined to it - right ? IDL does proper AO - right ?

Pretty please help me fill in the the missing blanks !

Thanks in advance.
