Concerning GC, Poser 8 might not be the complete answer to solving the issue. Laurie, the reason for asking about gamma correction refers to your statement about *dark blobs devoid of detail. * It is rather hard to discern some detail in your render although the roses look splendidly modeled. Poser 7 renders images linearly without gamma correction. As a result, there will be a tendency to add more lighting to compensate for the darkness. Although, miss nancy uses 1.8 gamma for her monitor settings, it is still incorrect because the rest of the digital world (digital cameras, printers, scanners, internet web pages) is standardized to 2.2. It is frustrating to view a beautifully exposed photo on a MAC and have it print darkly on your printer. Bantha has up out a script to apply gamma correction to your material in the Material Room. It can be found here:
It may help to bring out more detail.
I am impressed with your shader set up.
