I am trying to make a light look light it is coming only from a street lamp any suggestions? I want a dramatic light.

Thanks,
Eric

In Poser 6/7 you can use a point light which acts like a lightbulb. So, wherever you put that light in your scene it will illuminate like a lightbulb from that point.... it will cast shadows like a lightbulb as well.

If it's a scene with a lot of street lights you may wanna fake the streetlamp glow in postwork to save on rendering times.

Does that help?

I forgot to say that you have to have 'raytrace' clicked on in your render settings for the pointlight to cast shadows.
