I noticed "glowing nostrils" in some of the renders in this thread, so I went back to the last version of Antonia that I have (April 14) and sure enough, there is no nostril material. Given Poser's render system, I think it would probably be best if you added a nostril material zone. (however, I think you could probably do a better job than DAZ did with the Vickies)

A few pages back bagginsbill explained why a nostril material is a bad idea. I'm too lazy to look for it, so here's a short summary:

1) If people get glowing nostrils, that's because they haven't set their shadow parameters correctly. That means other things will look wrong as well, just not as obviously.

  1. A darkened nostril material results in sharp edges and, since the  boundaries of the artificial "shadow" you introduce don't react to lights, general wrongness.

In short, if anyone wants a nostril material, they'll have to add one themselves.
