A TREMENDOUS shout of thanks to all to have helped me through this "slight" dilema, w/o people like you, the community would be a decaf, short, 1/4 pump sugar free mocha, nonfat, no whip, no foam mocha latte =P

I have completed the materials, and with good results too. In the end, I think what I needed to do was use the color math nodes to reverse the direction of the normal maps, and that gave expected results...

A HUGE special thanks to hborre who took the time to actually create a Poser Pro 2012 SSS version .mtl file, fixing the displacement and normal maps to give "expected" results.

Shown here is a VSS/IDL Poser Pro 2010 set up... Thgis is more or less what I was going for. I noticed that increasing the bump value "distracted" the -umph- of the normal map, so it took quite of bit of play =/

There are 3 kinds of people in the world. Those that can count, and those that can't..
