Description
Thanks for looking and I am slowly learning how to use Daz4, it is a really big step from Daz3.
This is Me using G8F and a really great Australian car the 1966 HR Holden and a Aussie kangaroo known as Joey, I think I have learnt about 100 things out of a possible 1,000,000 things that make a Render in Daz4, I will keep trying to learn and share more with you soon, love Kiiko.

Pretty work so far, but it reminds me a bit of my difficulties of switching from 3Delight to Iray. The strong backlight and dim ambient seems to leave the character a bit darker than probably intended. I suppose you fiddled with hand-placed lights, but couldn't get the character to stand out much brighter against the environment-dome-induced ambient?
Iray can seem daunting until you figure out the magic: Brute f-ing force. No, really: Iray tries to mimic real illumination, and our puny human eyes are non-linear, so brute force is key. Make sure Photometric Mode is checked in the Parameters tab of your manually-placed light and--under "Luminous flux"--enter a number in the 100,000s or millions. Millions if you want it to be anything but a subtle gleam.
Judging by your render, you probably turned off the camera lamp because it was too bright, and that's usually a good move--the camera light is always too bright in Iray renders, unless you set it something like 0.0-something. Get rid of it and use a manually-placed light in the millions of lumens instead. When you do that, also make sure to set "Temperature" to zero (it's physically accurate, but messes with the colour of the light) and pick your light colour from RGB instead.
At least those are my humble experience and self-taught wisdoms concerning Iray scenes. If somebody has better insights, I'd actually be happy to hear them, too.
