Exnem's Professional Lights is a collection of lighting presets for Poser 9 Upwards. It uses image based lighting (IBL) as base for ambience and other lights for details and shadows.
These lights have been designed with ease of use in mind, and are perfect to light scenes or characters in one click. Works perfect with Sub Surface Scattering materials and all sorts of scenery.
Unlike most light packages out there that use dozens of light to simulate ambience and soft shadows. This package uses only 4 lights, professionally set up, to achieve even better results.
By using only 4 lights you can easily change tone and color, intensity and direction of lights in just a couple of minutes, instead of hours trying to figure out which of the dozen of lights to move.
The 4 lights used in this package are:
1.- Image Based Light (IBL) for general ambience
2.- Main light or Key light, this is the predominant light.
3.- Rim light for borders and speculars.
4.- Fill light, secondary ambience (for extra color and softness).
