Thanks for your reply hbore. My scenes tend to be late evening  to night-time, with the bulk of the lighting being HDRI, usually night skies with a low intensity point or mesh light (shadow disabled) somewhere off camera in the direction of main source providing a hint of specular highlight(as you probably know SSS is pointless in low-light environments without a little 'boost',and rim-lighting doesn't make sense in these environments). I'm using Poser12 Optix now, previously Vray in Max. I've always wanted to create content exclusively in Poser, but before Optix  5-10,000 frame animation was totally insane. Does EZSkin 3 work with P12? Most of the Python scripts I've tried wont run in P12, I've only been running P12 about a month, and must confess I've been out of the loop for quite some time....Life y'know . It's a steep hill to climb but I'll eventually get there, one small step at a time....

Y'all have a Great Day.
