Since there is way too much documentation out there (google daz3d iray skydome), I wil start with a very quick explanation which is your skydome is blocking all the light. In 3dlight and the poser world, skydomes emit light while while in iray, they don't.  Iray lighting generall uses HDRI's to ambiently light the scene and act as skydome.  Imagine that you were out in a field and climbed inside a box; it would be dark inside. Here are some discussions and solutions:
