Of all the things you can do in DAZ Studio, it's the getting the lighting right that keeps me busiest the most :D I've got some tutorials on my site about lighting in DAZ Studio - just plough through the <a href="http://blog.microlite20.net/tag/tutorial/" rel="nofollow">tutorials section</a> and should find them. The best suggestion I can make though is to grab some of the V4 Pose Kits from <a>MDC's freestuff</a> - they come with poses, light and cameras (set the camera's focal distance to 65 for them to look right in DAZ Studio!) and you're away. The great thing is that they just use 2 or 3 lights and look terrific. Set the Deep Shadow Maps for all the lights to about 60% and render away. Seriously, you'll learn more about how to place lights from those free sets than you will anyplace else. Hope that helps! :D Very nice.
