Jeez, I have no idea what's causing some of that! Sorry, Dave, I didn't mean to make more problems for you. :-) I remember a conversation awhile back about that eyebrows problem, but it's never happened to me. I'm sure the experts at the Vue forum could explain, though. There's probably a simple fix. Those strange areas on the hair are probably caused by the point light affecting the trans map. I think of point lights as being more for certain "special effects" than general illumination. You'd be a lot better off using spotlights for portraiture like this. That ugly shadow on the eye is almost certainly cast by the nose, I think the point light is just too strong. You can always try lessening the shadows of sunlight, and in the atmosphere editor, you can lower the ambient light (or turn it all the way off) to yield better global illumination and less harsh shadows. I don't do anything to group the mesh. I simply import it. Vue preserves all of Poser's material zones, as you can see by clicking on that "three spheres" icon to bring up the materials editor. Sometimes it helps to turn off "receive shadows" for some body parts, if they're a problem. Again, I've never experienced those anomolies.
