i'm glad i caught this thread. i was noticing what must actually have been whitish reflections off a transparent surface when i applied a transmap that i made to V2's upper eyebrows & eyelashes. These whitish traces were at the outer edges of the eyelashes and the topmost bit of the upper eyebrow mesh. Then i rechecked the highlight color, just now, and saw that it was something like 3,6,6 or some other almost-black color. Zapped it down to 0,0,0 and the wacky highlights went away!
