'Blondie tackles another important aspect of 3D– Lighting. Her introduction to lighting provided me with lots of 'Oh, that what it does' moments that had stumped me previously in lighting scenes.

Though geared toward DAZ Studio, blondie gives the equivalent concepts for Poser as well.' –Male_M3dia
