Thanks for the tips vilters.

Have to differ in my opinions about creating some displacement maps however... I think that whenever possible procedural methods as you suggest would be the path of least resistance and most elegant if handled within Poser.

BUT... Sometimes it's necessary to resort to other methods outside of Poser as a part of the workflow, as they say.

Nice to have a large arsenal of tricks in any case.

Edit. Interior lighting with IDL seems to be infinitely more frustrating than exterior lighting.

Caisson's tutorials on the subject are very well thought out...
