As an aside - does anyone have any idea where I can find good, realistic, light-skin textures for Michael 3 or Vicky 3? Well, being that people's tastes are different, and being that a lot of us here don't use default lighting, it's really hard to make recommendations that will be to your taste. I don't see anything wrong with the textures that you returned. But you must have a particular look that you are going for. As an aside for myself, I think it's really unfortunate that you missed a lot of the points mentioned in this thread. With YOUR poses, even the same light sets that were used in the promo renders won't make the texture look the same, because the camera angle and pose will be different. It has nothing to do with the light set being "proprietary", or "secret." Rendered art is VERY dependent upon lighting, and the lighting setup will be different with every scene that you create.
