Light set-Global illumination

sheedee3D

Hello;

I have this big dilema:

I am in search of a light set or global illumination set that will make my renders look good no matter what.

I have tried IDL Studio 2 by Colm...and it gives excellent results with portraits and close ups...the only set back is that i cant use any backdrops or big outdoor scenes or environments because these will all interfere with the IDL cove...and if i disable the cove or make it invisible then i can add all the outdoor scenes and backdrops...but the quality of the light dedreases...because the cove is not visible anymore.

I am looking for a Global illumination set that is great for outdoor environments and also great for portraits at the same time...in other words a general light/env set that is really all purpose. Because i have realized that all these IDL sets that are out there are great...but they are all mostly specifically designed for exclusively the making of portraits...it can even be seen in all the promo images...you can never see a portrait of a character with a background scene like for example The Backstreets or any other environment...the focus with all these IDL sets is purely the character itself.

As can be seen here:

So...in conclusion...is there any set out there from which you can get the best from both worlds...both portraits and environments for Poser.

thanks for viewing.
