Is there a way (have Poser 8 btw) that when I create a light it is positioned exactly where I want it instead of having to move it here, there and everywhere? Speaking of a spot or point light.

What I do is use over head camera and front view, you get your light in position pretty quickly.

I don't think I understand the question. You don't have to move it "here, there and everywhere". Just move it directly to the desired location. :blink:

If you know the coordinates of where you want it, you can enter them directly into the translation fields of the parameters palette. If you don't know the coordinates of where you want it, obviously you are going to have to position it by eye, either via cursor or with the translation dials.

If you save a light to the Light library palette, it will load in the same position as it was saved in, you can use 'Select Subset' to only include only one light in the set. Is that the sort of thing you are trying to achieve? If not, could you clarify what you do want to achieve?

I would like to load the light at a specific point in the scene without having to rotate the camera all over the place to move the light a little bit here, then a little bit there.

How does one find out a specific coordinate in a scene? If I knew how to do that I could easily enter those coordinates for the light.

Let’s say you have V4 in the center of the scene and you want to put a spot on her. Create the spot light and set the Xtran, Ytran and Ztran of the light to zero. This will put the light in the middle and you can move it around until you get what you want from it.

If you want to light something that is not in the center, just select the figure or object and see what the Xtran, Ytran and Ztran are for the figure or object you want to light. Change the lights Xtran, Ytran and Ztran to the same numbers as the figure you want to light and you will find it easily and be able to adjust its position.

But why are you moving the camera?  There is a global light panel on the left side of the app to control light positioning.

Dolly the camera out from the center of the scene, so that you have a wider field of view, and thus can keep the light icon in the frame without further movement of the camera. Or in the case of an orthogonal camera (Front, Top, Left, etc), scale it to produce the same effect.

Another 'quick' way is to point (point at) the spotlight to something (say V4 or a ball). Where ever that something is, the light will always point to it. If you use a prop, simply make it invisible when you're happy with the light to keep it from rendering.
