I never did anything in the material. Just loaded up a V3, then applied the textures. Then selected a light. When I purchased poser 5, my renders came out good for awhile. Then I touched some things. Then pressed default. Then all went haywire in my renders lately (For the past month). Ever since then, I been doing reading, searching, and so on. I even looked at others render options..that they have posted. Used all my skin textures..all the same. After my crazy rant. I did a render with all unchecked (Except for "Cast Shadows"). Yeah...came out nicely. But doesn't seem right. This is just for the skin texture. How about the props..and other stuff later on. I even maxed "Pixal Samples" to "12". What is bucket size? Raytrace bounces..how large/min can the number be? In the manaul explains "...how many bounces when raytracing" Those two really confuse me the most. No examples or specific in numbers. I will look into the link you gave me Karen. Looks helpfull and I added to favorites. Hope others are doing the same. :-)
