Quote - dburdick,

I took a look at the other image with the progression and saw the results a little better on that one. However, if you look at the Poser render and the last figure on the right, **Karlin, you can see what I am sort of referring to. To me, the Poser render still looks better. Also, I do not know what lighting or if any "skin realism kit" for Poser was used on the V4 figures, but when I do mine, I get VERY nice detailed closup skin that looks even better, near human like.

Like I said, not sure really how to replicate this or even if you can inside Vue 7 compared with Poser Pro. For realism, it may just be better at it than Vue, but I am not giving up yet. Surely if Poser Pro can do it then there must be a way in Vue one would think. However, this sure is getting complex in Vue compared with Poser and it's skin realism.

Thanks.

P.S. Ignore the bold, it's a browser issue right now and all my posts are coming out in bold here at this time. :(

Hi Jeff,

I guess it's all in the eyes of the beholder.  The Poser Karlin one looks like a plastic mannequin to me because the speculars are over-amped.  If you are looking for that type of render in Vue, you can try to increase the amount of specular light.  Here are a couple of over-amped type Vue renders I've done with speculars similar to a Poser-look:

It would help if you could post a Poser image showing the type of look you are after.
