Quote - In a nutshell as a DS user you have no choice but to 'fix' content, it either loads in looking like it's been dipped in varnish, or flat & lifeless, all of which is down to the specular settings, and as everything in real life has specularity turning the 'lighting model' to Matte or changing the Spec color to black, leaves you with a very flat & fake looking render.

You'll find that like me most old hands will use a Poser MAT as a shortcut, it saves us from having to manually load the textures, then it's a case of adjust things to get them how we want them (everybody has thier own preference) including adding any textures the MAT file doesn't load (spec & disp usually), and then save a preset so we don't have to go through that again with that item.

Using DS is similar to the bad old days of Poser 4, when a new character meant a Morph Target .obj and a pile of .jpg, and you had to manually load them all.

Its been so long since you've done anything you apparently don't know how its done anymore!
