Quote - I think it is more helpful when the critique person knows the software. Also if they can point the person to a tutorial. Example. I used an old daz bridge that did not look so hot close up. People suggested bump maps. It did not come with any. How to make bump maps and what should I set them at. Things like that are more helpful.

Ahhh! Sorry. I was one that mentioned the bump. I didn't think to give instructions.

Just take the texture into your graphic program. Change it to a grey scale image. Save it with the same name but add "BUMP" at the end IE: textureBUMP.jpg.  Then in the material room, go into "Advanced Tab" and right click in the working window. Pick "New Node", and "2D Image" and "Image_map". Browse to the grey scale image you made.  Then hook it up to the BUMP area of the Poser Surface Window.  Set the value to something really low so that the texture isn't overwhelming. Try .0003 to start and see if that works.  Work your way up or down from there and see what you think looks best.

heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi
