The second argument is 0, and since .4+0 is .4, it doesn't matter. Then I labelled it - that is the magic for Parmatic - the label. If the label begins with "P" "M" and a colon, then that node is important and gets a parameter. Simple isn't it? > > Get it?

OK I have this one working PM style:

Bagginsbills Vericose Veins version 8

clr = ImageMap(":Runtime:Textures:Poser 6 Textures:James_Face_Color.jpg")

apply to diffuse color of surface, also set soft specular

s = Surface(clr, 1, 1, .2, .5)

Move cy down a bit

cx = Add(.4).labelled("PM:Bruise CX")
cy = Add(.525).labelled("PM:Bruise CY")

x = Add((U - cx) / 3).labelled("PM:Circular X")
y = Add((V - cy) / 12).labelled("PM:Circular Y")

.
r = sqrt(x * x + y * y)

br = Add(.07).labelled("PM:Bruise BR")

bruiseclr = ColorRamp(
 IColor(90, 44, 112),
 IColor(90, 56, 113),
 IColor(90,70, 153),
 IColor(90, 41, 154),
 Scale(r, 0, br)
)

maxblend = .5
bruiseblender = maxblend * Scale(r, br, br / 2)
bruiseblender = bruiseblender * Marble3(.5, 1, scale=.5)

s.Diffuse_Color = Blend(s.Diffuse_Color, bruiseclr, bruiseblender)

How would I do "s", "r" and "bruiseblender"? I tried adding and extra set of brackets around the vale alond with "add" and "lanebeled etc" with No Joy.
