Couple quick questions,

Can VSS work with props? I read the read me, the pdf, but I don't seem to understand how to get it to work on props with multiple material zones.

After using the default skin shaders and falling in love with them, I have one little problem, when using props and figures that are not people, I have to tone down the lighting to get the look for the skin, then everything becomes too dark. I have tried coping the shader tree from a figure to the props and changing texture and bump maps, but this isn't quite right obviously. Is there a simple way to figure out what to change for say rock or wood to get it too look as good as the skin, and still be correctly lit?
