We demonstrate how you can place your lighting easily by using the view of the scene from the light's perspective. You can see in the images below how much difference good lighting can make. Render with No Lights Render w/ Speed Lighting For the purposes of this demonstration, we used DAZ Studio 4.7 Pro with the Layout City Limits and Style Darkside.

Now add 4 Distant Lights into the Scene from the main menu using their default settings.

However if you look closely, you can see the dark shadow on her backside which is caused by all 4 lights shining on her in the same direction.

Using the Viewport controls, change the viewport view selection to be from the perspective of one of our lights. Let's start with DistantLight 1. You will immediately see the view change to what DistantLight 1 sees. Page 6 of 11 WINTERBROSE ARTS and GRAPHICS Copyright (c) 2015, Winterbrose Arts & Graphics All Rights Reserved. Now use the Viewport controls to Orbit, Pan and Zoom this light around the figure until you get the lighting effect you desire. This technique will work with other types of lights and is how you can quickly position cameras within a scene. Repeat this process like we did for the other Distant Lights (or whatever type you added).

Here are the various angles we used for our four lights: DistantLight1 DistantLight2 DistantLight3 DistantLight4 Once you have positioned all of the lights, you can adjust the intensity individually to suit your desires for softer or brighter lighting.

Set the Viewport back to the Default Camera and you will be ready to render your newly lighted figure.
