Things You'll Need:
- Computer
- Poser software
-
Step 1
Load your scene into Poser. This can be just your 3D human figure, dressed and textured, a portrait or a complete scene.
-
Step 2
Delete all the default lights. You do this by going to the "Light Controls" box up in the top left-hand corner and clicking on the light you want to delete. You'll notice a little trash can pops up; click on it and that will delete that light. Poser will pop up a dialogue box asking if you are sure if you want to delete the light; select "Yes."
-
Step 3
Repeat Step 2 until all default lights are deleted.
-
Step 4
Notice that your viewing box has gone completely dark and your figure is only minimally visible. This is the way it is supposed to look when there are no lights. Now you will want to create a new light. Click on the little star in the "Light Controls" box. This will create a new light, but you will probably need more than one, since the viewing box is still quite dark.
-
Step 5
As you create each light, go to the "Parameters" box, click on "Properties" and deselect "Shadows." If your parameters box isn't showing, go to the "Windows" drop-down menu and select "Parameter Dials."
-
Step 6
Add the number of lights you want for your render and repeat Step 5.
-
Step 7
On at least some of the lights, go to the "Parameters" window and in "Properties" make at least a few of your lights "Infinite Lights" as opposed to "Spot Lights." This will help to spread the light out in your render.
-
Step 8
Move the lights around until you get the effect you want. You do this by putting your mouse on a light, holding it down and moving the mouse. Different positions of the lights will lead to different effects.
-
Step 9
Render and save your final image.
