You guys, I was kidding...

I've learned so, so much is just a few days and it's a wonderful gift. I had no idea that what I was getting out of Poser was so crappy. But now I see why it was so hard to get any control over the lighting. Not that I'm any good at lighting, but at least now I can see the difference!

And BB, you're just brilliant. That's it, just brilliant. I'm a convert. You have no idea how it is for someone as shader challenged as I am to see the incredible beauty in what you've created.

So, enough of that. Please rip apart what I'm posting and tell me what's wrong with it. I need to know what you see that I'm not seeing and what I need to be working toward. I'm not seeing the intensity of the shadows that I would have liked to have seen from AO, especially in the eyes. I love the fact that the shadows from AO on the face are a darker color of the skin tone and not just sooty gray but how to make them darker...

The one thing I noticed is that finally there are tiny, tiny shadows under the eyelashes. Wow. I'm posting 800x800 renders and they're being reduced. Don't know why that is. But because of that it's hard to see what I'm talking about.

And, LaytexLuv, that's a super render. Very provocative.
