Thanks, Guitta. :) My trouble with reflections, I guess, is that I use reflection maps in Poser for effects other than simulated reflections. I have found them very useful for certain cloth textures. I'm sure there must be a way to get a similar effect within Vue, using combined materials, but I have not been able to find the right combination of variables. I was hoping someone might have a trick or shortcut for me.... :) So I guess I should ask: how do you create iridescent cloth effects in Vue? My other point: I have had a couple of instances in which imported materials could not be edited without splitting the object. I wish I had saved the problem files. This was several weeks ago, and I haven't had a chance to work with Vue since.... I imported a figure with several materials on one body part. The textures imported well with the figure, but my bump map settings needed to be adjusted. I found that editing one of the materials on the body part caused all the materials to be changed the same way. I was able to edit single materials by splitting the body part within Vue. The split object, however, seemed to be re-mapped, as the textures would not work properly, no matter how I changed the settings. (Perhaps this was the "world" texturing in play? I don't remember testing that particular setting....)
