Mmm... Uberenvironment lights are a whole different ballgame. Is that light set a market item or a freebie? I could take a look at it and see if I can help you figure it out?
Shadow settings vary from one type of light to another.
Basic (default) DS Spotlights will have a shadow strength value that you can adjust to affect how dark or transparent you want the shadow. They will also have a shadow softness value which will affect how much the shadow blurs.
Basic (default) DS distant lights do NOT have those values.
Basic (default) DS point lights DO.
AOA Advanced Ambient, AOA Advanced Distant, and AOA Advanced Spotlights all have different settings.
Uberenvironment 2 (which is what I mean when I abbreviate to UE2) has different types of settings from the other two kinds of lights as well.
And now we know why I called this particular lighting tut a "Basic Lighting" tutorial.
If you let me know where you got Khory's lights or what the package was called, I can see about taking a look at it. UE2 doesn't usually create fuzzy or grainy renders... AOA lights can. And fuzzy/grainy renders in 3Delight are normally related to shadow softness settings. High values will give you more of a blur on the shadow, but can produce grainy/fuzzy renders if set too high. Low values give you sharper/less blurry shadows, and tend not to produce the grain.
Let me know which set it is, and I'll take a look, ok?
thanks!
SkyLab needed a couple of reset poses for M4's hands. This is just a rough format for the moment, but here's those poses. Direct download from the post here. No special terms since it's JUST a couple of Zero poses for M4's hands (Left, Right, and Both together). It's in Poser .pz2 format.
I will most likely flesh this out later on and do a full set of Zeroes for M4, V4, and K4 just like I did for Dawn, Dusk, and Luna. But for now if folks would like it, they can grab the hand resets from the post here.
Studio WILL read the .pz2 poses, just FYI. You'll need to install them under your Poser Content and inside of Studio they should be located under Poser Formats --> Your Poser Runtime --> Pose --> Childe of Fyre --> COF - M4 Reset Poses
When I flesh this out later, I will include a full set of Zeroes in both Poser and Daz Studio native formats.

Okay, so I've been working on these in between waiting on test renders for Nataani's bump and normal maps...
There are 17 utility zero poses total for M4, K4, and V4. The files come in both DazStudio and Poser formats, so make sure you download the correct file! If you use an older version of Studio that cannot use the .duf files, then please download the POSER version. I will probably add the Gen3's (V3, M3, etc) and Genesis 1 version at some point as well.
If you already installed the hand zero for M4 from the previous post, you will be prompted to overwrite the files with what's in this zip file. Go ahead and overwrite it; it's the same file, just that now it has a proper thumbnail along with the rest of these. LOL

Your welcome, both of you. I'll eventually add the Gen3 and Genesis 1 versions... just not yet. LOL

Okay, so... I am kind of in the midst of doing bunch of odds-and-ends type stuff right now. I'm finishing up the LIE dirt overlays, I'm doing a Beta for another vendor, I'm trying to finish up the Luna Beach Baby textures, I've got a couple of different tutorials in various WIP stages, a couple of clothing models in various WIP stages, and I'm trying to get a few things uploaded to my site that I have been remiss in adding, among other things. (I never claimed to be able to focus on just ONE project!)
So... this is one of those things that I'm finally getting around to uploading. LOL You'll probably see a few posts like this in the coming days as I get things uploaded that have needed to be uploaded...
Anyway - this is my tutorial for how to save Pose Presets - converted to PDF format with help from Sanbie and SkyLab some time ago, and cleaned up a wee bit. (Sorry, ladies - just now getting time to add this stuff into my freebies!)

I shut down my Content Paradise store a few months ago, and I'm finally getting around to moving some of that content into my freebies, and fine-tuning some other parts of it for inclusion into my store here instead. Nathaniel here is a migration; he was sold over on CP for a few years, and I have decided to put him into my freebies now, as I just don't believe his quality is representative of what I can do these days.
He is a complete character - morphs, base skin, and some options. But be warned that he is one of my earlier skins... and the promo work is really showing it's age as well. I'm almost embarassed to admit that these were my renders.
Please Note : DAZ STUDIO USERS :
This package was made native inside of Poser 7, back before I had switched to using Studio. If you want to use him in Daz Studio, you will most likely need to manually adjust his material settings in the Surfaces tab, particularly the specularity color and values, otherwise he will shine like a Christmas tree light bulb when rendered.

This is another of the migrated (and continuing to migrate) items. I used to sell this pack over on Content Paradise. As it's a very old product, and just not up to my current quality standards, but I didn't want to completely retire it either... I am migrating it into my freebies.
The package is considered POSER ONLY due to the use of a combination of Poser procedural materials with the usual image map based textures. If you are a DAZ STUDIO user, you WILL NEED to manually adjust the materials a great deal on some of the textures in order to use this package. Yes, there are image based textures, but some of the styles rely heavily upon Poser procedurals. You will need to adjust materials for anywhere that I used Poser procedurals, but I figure that can't be too hard to do with all of the various DS shaders and shader packs out there.
There are 14 different styles here, and I do have a second freebie that I released around the same time that had 4 additional styles (with the same caveat as this pack as far as Poser procedurals being in use).

So, I have been meaning to do this for a while, and have been unable to do so for multiple reasons. But, I finally got the conversion for the sweater done. This is the sweater that I originally made to fit Genesis 1, G2F/M and G3F/M back during the Fantasy Attic's Christmas giveaway. I have managed to get it converted here, while retaining all of the original material zones and myriad of adjustment morphs.
For a look at the included morphs, as well as the visibility presets, go to This Post earlier in this thread and click on the thumbnails that I posted in that message.
You do NOT need to own or have installed the Genesis version of the sweater for this item to work. This item will stand on it's own, and operates independently of the Genesis version. It takes all the same textures as the original Genesis version, so if you DO happen to own that version, you will be prompted to overwrite texture files. Just click "OK" on that and let it overwrite.
Note :
At this time, the sweater is Daz Studio only, as it's in a DS .duf format. I am not able to make Poser conformers. Sorry!
-----------------
Requires :
Dawn or Dusk
Daz Studio 4.x (all library files are in .duf format)
Includes :
1 conforming sweater for Dusk
1 conforming sweater for Dawn
7 textures
23 visibility presets for the various material zones
1 uv map/template in a couple of different forms
All needed texture maps
Usage Rights :
Commercial renders are OK.
Contents of my ORIGINAL zip file NOT for distribution in any way, shape, or form.
