You can't get good skin realism without maps, I think is the point we were making.

The realskin shader in Poser is great and all, but it depends on a light's position to get it's effect. If you were to animate the position of your main light in the scene, it would screw up the shader. At least that's what I have found. Skin shaders in Maya or Max don't suffer from this kind of problem, and I'm assuming Carrara won't either, once someone figures out how to do it right.

I hope your friend will post her image. I'd love to see some really good skin done in Carrara, just to give me hope.
