Dylazuna, thank you! Guys, this is a WONDERFUL explanation of effective
lighting. All of this is do-able in Poser using IDL (indirect lighting)!

Another from the same outfit. Again, you could do all this using indirect light and primitives in Poser, as well as adjusting the blur radius on placed lights.

Read at the promo pop-ups, they're actually informative, Mirror and glass, both plan, watered, and etched (etc.) with props to apply them to. And a cute Prime background set to coordinate. You don't have to use this lot in their style--well-designed, that way--even though they provide some wall props and so forth.
I decided my "sitting" pose people really needed these. :D

Storm watch shut down? Well, that's a fine situation. I guess you will be storm free for a while!

Quick question... has anyone with bank accounts connected to Daz had any problems with them lately? I ask because BoA has sent me two replacement cards in the last two months saying the info was compromised, and the only place I had my account info saved was at Daz.... Is it just a strange coincidence or...? Or am I the only one that actually had the info saved, heh?

No messages here. Everything seems OK.
Best to call your bank's customer service and inquire about this, if you haven't already.

You can get to part one from there, I believe.
I have more, just have to find them. I have several that are in .pdf format as well but I'd have to email them. The ones that are free to share, that is. *Grin*
I tend to find many just by using Google- "Poser tutorials, PP tuts, Poser .pdf tutorials, Poser shader tutorials, Poser lighting," ect. Rendo has some older ones that I started out with, and I will admit to heavily picking our lovely Nan's brainpan, along with LT and AJ to name a few. ;)

Our own Xaa did a boatload of Poser tutorials, but they were on DAZ' forums; I had links in my blog. But now? El gone-o. Well, at least the pictures aren't showing. He gave me a zip with the tuts in it, and I'll post them back again when I get a chance.
Right now...it's Friday evening and I'm bushed. Having a stiff drink and a nice web surf.

The files are in MHT format. Internet Exploder can open them by default. For Firefox, you will need to download the UnMHT plugin (or other plugin that allows you to view/save MHT files). MHT is Mime HTml format - the same format used by e-mail readers. It allows the images to be packed in as part of the file, rather then separate.

Cool! Thank you! Now I have to figure out how to get them web-capable. Or if they are already. :) Wait, you just told me. Never mind!

Yep, you can post them as-is, and anyone who is using a browser that can read MHT files should be able to open them like an ordinary web-page. People who aren't will get one of those "Tell Me Where You Want To Save This File" boxes.
I like MHT because it makes it easy to store/send images along with the HTML, greatly simplifying sending pages. It's also fairly easy to convert back to HTML format - most WYSIWYG HTML editors will allow you to just copy/paste the page then save it out, and will give you save options as it hits each image. Another of my favorite formats for this is CHM, which is Compiled HtMl Help format. It's an old format, Microsoft-only, used in their help files back with Win95. It opens with it's own reader, which is based on Internet Exploder. However, since a lot of people don't have the right reader to even open the file (I'm looking at YOU, Mac-users!), I don't use CHM much.

Ok you guys thanks so much!. Yeah right now still trying to figure out how to get Poser to load my runtime. It's only detecting two sets by Xurge, but I know I've chosen the right runtime, I've checked five times now. grrrr so aggravated.

Unfortunately, you will have to rebuild the runtime in a folder structure that Poser can recognize and access. DAZ set up studio from the beginning so that it can recognize and open Poser runtimes, but the runtimes it creates, even with poser-compatible items, cannot be seen by Poser because the folders are not named the same nor are they in the same directory tree structure. As Suro already said, this is immensely tedious - but, once done, it is definitely worth the hassle.
Poser doesn't care how many runtimes you have, but every runtime you have must follow this structure of folder naming and hierarchy:
Runtime
- Geometries
- Textures
- Libraries
- - Camera
- - Face
- - Hair
- - Hand
- - Light
- - Materials
- - Pose
- - Props
If it's a figure of any kind (including conforming clothing), it goes under the "character" folder. If it's a prop of any kind (I.E. it doesn't have a bone hierarchy), it goes under the "props" folder, and so on. You can have any number of sub-folders beneath these folders in any arrangement you like, but Poser needs this root hierarchy and division of items to find stuff.
Howdy, Stranger!
