However, there are a few 'TRICKS' that ensure getting the HOTTEST looking renders possible. Complete steps 1 & 2 BEFORE moving anything! 1. Load the FireCORE prop of your choice. 2. Always parent FireLIGHT_1 to the FireCOREª immediately after loading a FirePROP. 3. Position and scale the FirePROP after completing Step 2, - the FireLIGHT will follow. 4. Be sure to install the correct Props & Lights for your Poser version. The P5 folders contain special preset Props & Lights to take advantage of the P5 Material Room and Raytrace Render Engine. 5. Use the Hierarchy Editor to select the invisible FireCOREª then use the FireCOREª morph dials to position and rotate the FireLIGHT array for maximum control and visual effect. 6. Keep the FireCORE zTran morph dial set to 0.000 - other settings may unbalance the illumination. 7. Use the morph dials to aim and adjust individual FireLIGHT spots to custom illuminate your scene. 8. To Improve render image quality and still keep render times short, SELECT Anti-Alias or increase render size in Poserª Render>RenderOptions dialog. 9. Create a warm ambient glow by adjusting the infinite PoseLIGHTS (PoseLIGHT_1 & 2) using the Light morph intensity dial. 10.
