Thanks for the scoop on the render settings. I wonder if Poser Pro works that well on a Mac.

Okay, here's what I have so far. My first VSS render had displacement in the render, and it was problem. Yikes! There also seems to be an issue with the eyelashes in the VSS renders. I dropped the hair in the renders because it took too long and it renders bad in Firefly (bad transmaps?). I saw in material menu that the SKIN template for VSS has displacement. Also, after that I got rid of the blue highlight in the Simple Color and changed it to White. Most of the renders have spots on the figure. I used the VSS lights, so maybe there is an issue there?
