Ah well, maybe it will work better on your M4 textures.

I uploaded it for you to try.

It's in this folder:
http://sites.google.com/site/bagginsbill/free-stuff/random-shaders

look for VSSM4HairBooster.zip

It contains a modified VSS control prop. All the shaders in there were tuned for M4. The Template Skin shader has some surgery I did. You'll find a Blender node stuck in there near the parameters. That is the hair enhancer. The Value_1 parameter is gray - make that white to stop the enhancer. Make it lighter gray to reduce the effect. Make it darker gray to increase the effect.

I included the shader without AO - until you're ready to really dig into material AO tweaking, it's better to do it with the light. I used to say otherwise, but you have Poser 7 (SR3 I hope) and that does a good job with light-based AO, and it is easier to manage.

You'll want to install that prop in your runtime wherever you like. It has a different name than all the other VSS props so it can go with those if you want.

Load that prop. If your scene already has another VSS prop, delete that first.
