Is there a way to paint a figure in poser?  My attempt to "paint" a characters hip leaves out the limbs.

If you explain what you want to paint and which figure I might be able to help. 

Sure thing, but let me ask this.  Can Poser turn surfaces into light emmitters using light emission maps?

If you mean light emission maps from unity or such, that's an interesting question.

I imagine you can utilize maps in SuperFly CyclesSurface Emission nodes in a similar fashion. Whether you can use maps intended for a different renderer would need to be tested by yourself or answered by someone who utilizes Superfly CyclesSurface Emission nodes. 

In Firefly, as I've shown, yes you can utilize alpha maps to control ambient that will emit light. I imagine with some additional nodes you can drive multicolored maps, or color them via such nodes, through the ambient channel. It requires IDL global illumination to be on if you want the light to bounce off nearby surfaces. You can activate IDL in render settings.

In Superfly IDL is always active.

Do you use Firefly IDL or SuperFly?
