I'm used to the lighting lab in Bryce, which has a great deal of controls and shadow settings. In Poser, I can't get shadows to work for me. For example, the shadows under the right hand on the leg are postwork, so are the shadows around the bottom of the dress and the chest line as well as the armpits. And the smoothing of the paint does a good job with the skin, but ruins the dress hem. No matter what I do, convert the lights to spots, change position or intensity, or even deleting lights and keeping a single angle, the shadows in poser suck. Anyone got a suggestion? I've been exporting from Poser to Bryce just for the light lab and terrain labs, but transmaps are a pain and no matter how hard I try, they still don't come out right. So, what's the solution? Lightwave? Universe? Cinema? Something as simple as this should be doable in Poser / Bryce.
