I'm getting these really wierd black swirls on 300 dli renders... after applying MacRealSkinShader Anyone have any suggestions to correct this? The attached pix was made using the DEFAULT settings. regards---

it's almost like the base texture has jpeg banding, rather than smooth gradients.

The base texture without the MacRealSkinShader applied is completely smooth.

I think this has to do with the 8-bit limitation on poser displacement maps but I am not sure.

Actually, this is the first time I've had this happen with MacRealSkinShader... Maybe face_off can jump in on this... I'll e-message him...

Hi there - it's the min displacement bounds. For a close-up like this, you don't really need the granite displacement, so turn off displacement in your render settings. Or setting the Min Displacement Bounds to 0.01 should do the trick too.

Yes, Displacements off has fixed the problem. Many thanks.
