Correct svdl - that was the 3rd technique - to hack the texture outside of Poser altogether. However, you MUST apply it to the head as well as the nostril. The reason is that the "nostril" material zone doesn't actually include the entire nostril. If you use my little darkening plugs there only on the nostril, it won't shade nicely into the skin around the nostril. BTW: I'm not getting email from the ebot telling me that others have replied. I'm certain the "Notify" option is checked and yet I'm not getting notified. This has been going on for about a week. So if I seem to ignore you, I'm not intending to :)

Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
