I have two presets saved. The first one for use with normal lighting (without IDL)
These setting give me some great renders with relatively short render times. If you want to change these settings you can edit things like "Raytrace Bounces" This will improve renders using reflections but it will increase render time. Also Pixel samples improves shadows but will increase render times. Sometimes using this preset I will turn off "gamma correction" as it changes the effect you get from certain light sets e.g. LIGHT by retrodevil/me
My second preset is for use with IDL (InDirect Lighting)
These settings are slightly different because of the increased calculations of IDL I reduce "Irradiance Caching" so render times are decreased while maintaining a decent quality. You could increase this but render times will be longer (a lot longer). The other thing I will mostly always use with IDL is Tone mapping "HSV Exponential" This usually helps irradicate over exposure when using IDL but can slightly increase render times. you can try it without and if you are happy with the results leave it off.
These screen shots were taken from Poser Pro 2012, some options will not be available in previous versions. If you have Poser 7 or earlier the first screen shot has all of the information you need. If you don't have a certain option, for instance "Gamma Correction" those setting will still work.
