Thank bb. I do not know why I am so dense about it... I read the VSS for Dummies page... I think I sometimes just have a conceptual blindness about some things at times. I do get it to run and all but have not been successful at adjusting it for a less "IBL" look.

Certainly I don't mean to denigrate your skills, effort and generosity but I'm just too dumb technically to grasp the several really cool things you have release as freebies but it is clear I am in a minority since most people love them :)

I need to work more on it... the problem might be that I am confused by the combination of script/prop/material. I think it is the control prop that throws me as opposed to the Python input panel on Real Skin Shader which I have been able to grasp pretty intuitively. I'll try to post some sample of what I am getting but you should not bother yourself about it... I'm an old oil painter and not a CGI person so who knows what my visual predjudgices are :)
