Thanks.

I've been practicing with C6, and also been reading and watching tutorials, and I am finally getting the hang of it. And I'm taking my time, trying not to get frustrated by it ;)

I've read several tutorials about skin shaders, but none mentioned anything about Eyelashes. This seems to be a problem with many textures I've tried. The morphs don't clear up the very large eyelashes. After toying around, the only thing that seems to help is lowering the brightness of the Alpha channel. Is there a better way to deal with this?

Also, I am playing with M4 in C6, which apparantly he isn't supported until C7. Loads fine, but not all morphs work and occassionally odd things happen to areas. That's why I want to get C7, if these things work better.

I like cluttered or detail orientated scenes, and Poser just is squeezing me out of them. And Since I already own Carrara, I decided to take the full plunge and actually learn it fully. It's been more fun this time out, and Mark's tutorial's have helped (and I'll be shelling out cash to watch the rest of them soon, too, when finances allow).

Thanks for the info.
