Hi everyone, I'm a newb to Poser (more specifically Poser Pro 2012), and purchased a scene prop from the marketplace called "The Pit." It's a great set, but I wanted change it up a bit by adding some of my own stuff.
One of the things I wanted to add was torches along the wall of the cave, and simulate the way torch light would spread from it's source, to a few feet in every direction; with the light being the brightest on the wall right behind the torch.
I was able to achieve this look by using a point light over a torch prop. As shown in my preview render... it's was a bit misleading to me, because when I did a render using FireFly, the look I thought I had from the preview render, became totally flat in FireFly (see second pic).
There is one other point light (with a light-blueish hue) above the camera/rendering area, with an intensity of 40%. The point light on the torch is at 100% intensity. I've also attached my render settings for FireFly.
The only parameter I touched on the torch light was Dist End; which I set to about 35. All of the rest of parameters as well as the properties for the point light are at default settings.
Can anyone help shed some 'light' on the subject? Thanks in advance!
