Another thing you can try, which I didn't post here, is opening up the texture, and changing the levels. Opened it up in Photoshop, chose Image/Levels, and changed the mid range to 0.65. Got some decent results. Sandoppe, when I applied the Vicki2 texture to Penny, all I did was double-click the MAT file for the texture set. Everything seemed to line up just fine. But you're right. She is one ugly critter. Trying to figure out these settings, and doing all these renders was the first time I've ever put her in a scene.
