Mangled shaders.  What I mean is, when I import objects created for Poser or Daz Studio, frequently there are problems.  The most frequent is an annoying shininess with inappropriate textures, like fabrics.  A fabric will give off glare as if it were rubber or plastic.  Then there is the problem with meshbox buildings, which import (have to import the 3DS version, the poser versions are one big mesh) with the shader, but with all parts exhibiting some transparency so you can see through everything to varying degrees.  Then there are the extreme highlights on skin shaders for poser and DAZ figures.  All lighting must be at high angles to the camera in order not to create bright reflections off the skin.

If there is a standard procedure to deal with these issues, I would be very interested.  I usually poke around the shaders until I get the problem fixed to an acceptable state.
