If you mean texturing figures like Vicky, then it takes lots of practice & experimenting... To change skin tones, just open the Material window, select the Skin parts & change the base color by small increments, also try in the "Light Beige ones... All depends on what you want in the end! Also, play with the Highlight & Reflection settings! My favorite setup for Skin is Higlight(Dark Grey 40,40,40 at 40%) & Relection(Almost Black 15,15,15 at 60%). As for the Eyes, that too is subjective! My sttings are as follows: "Eyeballs"(Tranparency at Min:80%, Max:90%), I sometimes had a Reflection Map at 35%... Then for "EyeWhites" & "Iris"(I had a 20% Bump Map of the same texture used). Oh! If you want them to stand out even more, then you could change the "Ambient" from pure Black(0,0,0) to (15,15,15)... Also, consider that the lights in Poser are Additive!! Meaning, that if you have a blue light, that blue will add to the color of the skintone & so forth!! Always make sure to use very Light colored lights! And try to avoid "Green" ones! Very light Blues, Yellows, oranges are my favorites! These are by no means rules! Just my guidelines! I'm sure the pros will have more insight! Marco
