Thanks svdl
I will start looking into displacememnt settings.
Yes I agree, grayscaling the skin text map in hopes of creating a bump map is in many cases going to give you the reverse of the desired affect -
I should point out that my only reason for doing that was to provide something for the plain skin area of the figure around the nipple while I was experimenting on the nipple - and then my question arose when I saw the results - God knows WHAT I was going to do at a later point when I needed a real bump map for the whole body.
BTW earlier I had created a hand-made bump map for JUST the nipple, and because G2 figures have one giant text map for the whole bady, I made this "nipple only" bump map as a transparent background tif , transparency for all of the body except the nipple,so that hopefully only the nipple would be affected., i.e. the rest of the body should recieve no info from the image, and Poser did appear to in fact considerthe transparency as a nuetral gray- if you can believe the preview window. ( I still had the same ungly black patches)
AS U CAN SEE i know NOTHING about rendering.
I will work more on paying attention to displacement
Thanks for the advice. I have much fiddlin' to do.
