Quote - so thats just modifying the Gamma number to a lower number from 2.2 on each skin material?

can I edit the prop material and re-synch?  If so, how do I get it to only sync V4, and not the car, the buildings and the sky?

Yeah, edit the gamma in the Template_Skin material of the control prop and re-sync.

VSS will only affect materials it knows about, so it's not likely to touch other figures. But if that is a concern, you want to edit the "Apply Rules" material. It has a node in it called

and this makes it apply to any figure. Instead, remove that, and use VSS Designer buttons to add a Rule node. Put the name of your V4 figure in. Then it will only apply to that figure.

If you have Poser 8, I'd use 1.3 and I'd use HSV ETM as a substitute for the remaining GC - it would help the whole scene. I use the D3D Render Firefly dialog and set the tone mapping gain and exponent both to 1.3. (I experimented a lot to find an easy-to-remember beginner's setting for HSVETM and it's 1.3 all the way.)

Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
