Quote - There are several things you will need to do when you activate FC... much of it has to do with lighting, and most of it has to do with your non-colour info images, such as bump maps and trans maps and spec maps, etc... anything not giving poser pro colour information needs to be modified in the ImageMap node itself. When you click on image_source, you will see additional options... which is where you need to set the radio box option Custom Gamma Value on and put 1.00 in the text box.

Robynsveil I'm actually pretty glad you mentioned this, as I'm looking into trying to work with GC today and this was an immense roadblock until I realized what you were talking about here.  Side note, I really don't much like the way this is presented in the interface - it seems to me that as long as they were changing the structure of the Poser file format to accommodate CG per texture, it would have been smarter to have added a control to the Image_Map node (e.g. a checkbox and a textbox in which you could enter a GC value) rather than the excessive number of clicks required to control it in the current version.  If you only had one map per material this wouldn't matter too much, but for many skin materials this is something you're going to have to screw with for two or more grayscale maps for nearly every material zone.  Guess I'll write a script to manage this.
