Very cute Dawn, and the green texture is just perfect for a Forest Nymph.
Cheers Miss B, the dirty one is after she's been frolicking in the wet grass

Both lovely creations but then your products always are. Sadly, as Poser only user, I will not be able to use the lights but I am finding that HDR are a real help with lighting, especially with superfly so I can see these being of great value to Daz users. I now tend to use HDR either on a dome or a background and one or two area lights on all my renders.

Thanks for that I was having one of my thick moments, quite common these days. I already use HDRIs so the ones from the set I could use just not any of the Dufs but at this price they would still be good value.
The HDR images are twice as wide as they are high, as they are gradients, there is no really distortion in them, the only downside is the lights, plus the rotations which are also duf. That would allow the dome to rotate so that the grad Centrepoint either goes up or down, not sure if you can do that in poser (its the x orientation)
Also there is a white exposure dot on it, which in daz is behind the camera, not sure how that will show up in poser, hopefully it will be behind the camera too,

Well it had to be worth a go so I have done a little bit of playing with these in Poser but nothing extensive. First point is whichever dome I use the white dot you mention is not so much a dot but a tall oval shape, sort of flame shaped, that does not immediately position in the centre. You can bring it into place by spinning the dome but the white shape is rather large. As all domes seemed to create the same effect it used EZdome for the most test. OK, so that is what happens but would the pack be useful in Poser, in my view it is an emphatic yes, lighting alone is great and the EZdome allows you to modify the strength by adjusting the ambient value on the outer dome. Spinning the pome on the Y axis allows you to bring the white part of the background into play and spinning on the X or Y axis give some very pleasing effects.
This is a superfly render stopped very early in the process but it should give an idea of one of the gradients in use. The lighting is purely from the dome with the ambient of the outer set at 0.5.
I let this one run a little longer to get a better idea of the illumination. Again dome only but with the ambient set at 1.0.
I would add a couple of area light to this render as that is my norm as I find dome only illumination a little too soft for general renders but very useful for romantic ones. The point here is to try the pack in Poser so I added nothing and I personally think the HDRs work well, as am certainly glad I purchased them and I know I am going to use them a lot in the future. There are parts of the pack you cannot use in Poser but the HDRs are worth the pack price alone.
Glad you like it and it works for you,
Yes, the dot is more like an oval, this is the overview of one of the maps, so you can see where it is placed. Spinning the dome so that the oval is behind the camera will give you the best gradient, but with it behind the model will also give you a third colour (white) Personally, I'd stick with it behind the camera.
Also, glad to hear you can rotate the other axis, not sure which one would make it bow to the camera (so to speak) but this one will bring that centre line up or down and so you will get more of one colour than the other.
