"I originally only used 10 lights figuring - less lights - faster rendertime - but it's at the expense of quality." Hi, face_off! Yeah, I experienced the same thing with the lights. I desperately wanted to use less of them, but I just couldn't get the results. I'm used to working with light domes in other apps that consist of 100+ spots, but that just isn't efficient in Poser currently, unless you use VERY low shadow map values (which can in turn lead to some different problems as well). Your real-skin shader system is excellent though. I'd like to personally congratulate you on that. I can now use a basic 3-point light setup on most scenes in Poser, and the skin still looks great. It definitely encourages me to utilize P5's renderer more frequently for smaller animations. ;-) I'll be doing more stuff with it soon I'm sure.
