No, not a part of the texture. I changed from hi-res texture to low and back, and still it's there. Also, no, the lights are not grouped. They do acquire gells after saving (the known Bryce bug), but it doesn't change anything. I'll try mucking about with the Face room again and reimport it. Diolma, no, I don't think it's a reduction. When I changed the mesh to positive, the texture darkened completely, although the diffusion and ambience remained the same. I guess it has something to do with global Ambience and stuff like that. I will check.
