Using Poser Pro 2012, need to parent the lights to the Main Camera, so that I can rotate to any angle without wrecking the lighting.  Anyone know a way to do this?

 

Thanks!

Assuming you've tried and failed  :)

How about make a prop, and parent the lights and camera to that prop?

...or

Just parent lights to a prop, and move prop, keeping same camera angle, which will give various angle of a good lighting rig?

Point and spot lights you should be able to parent without problem. For infinite lights, change them to spots, parent to the camera, then change back to infinite.
