lol... 200kb is quite... choking.  Forgot not everyone's a DA member.  Anyways...

This is the original, as you can see the alternate specular node is taken up, so I had to came up with an alternative.

People call at the most inconvinience times, so now I gotta go somewhere for a while, so it'll be a while before doing anything :/ 

Well, this is one thing I hate about Rendo's forums, can't find info you need, so I uploaded the images to my DeviantArt's "Sta*sh", basically a hiding place from the public gallery.

First up http://sta.sh/#/d1p9vm6nr80y This is the original, as you can see the alternate specular is taken up, so I came up with this after some failed attempts...

http://sta.sh/#/diltnagnq2x  Here is what I mean by the "math" function, adding both functions as the math function is acting as an extra "plug-in".  As you can see in both renders (postworked next to the material room), there's no difference on her face speculars.

The concept here was to "add" the glossy effect to the paint job without disrupting the face properties.

The whole face paint not shown, have had some ideas stolen & marketed, so I'm just taking steps to not have that happen again.

Crap, what's the "file size" limit here????????????????  I can't find that info :/

Hmm... must've forgot to click "email notification"...

Thanks for replying, guys, I'm getting a few screen grabs right now (material room and renders), then gonna try bagginbill's suggestion.  In my concept thinking, "Blend" either blends or goes "0" (void) one way and "1" (full strength) the other way, instead of "1" both ways.  But I'm gonna try that.

This thing works fine and dandy!! :)  It's not for the faint hearted though, not really, at least when you use the pose file it creates, for the preview screen reacts funny and lightens up the surfaces the pose file effected (might freak the faint hearted out LOL!).  That's fine though, both before and after using the pose file, the skin surfaces in both test renders are the same (except the displacement of course).  Once you save and reload the scene, everything looks normal again.

It is, however, a misfortune that people with lower versions then Poser7 won't be able to use the files, so I'll leave my old file there for them (that loads the default skin).

Hey Wand!!   LTNS buddy, it's great to see you again :)  Thanks a lot for that link, I haven't re-installed Poser6 yet, but hopefully it'll work :)  I'm glad you're still enjoying Sabrina (wow it's been a long time since her release too), believe it or not, I am too, just can't resist loading her 'cause she's a lot more realistic then most characters and not just another baby face/big boobed doll lol!  I may be back at Daz3D, not sure if I want to ask for the "privilage" back or not, but have been thinking about it.

I believe this is it!!!  Thank you guys so much, immediately downloaded and installed!  Waiting for my Daz Studio to save this scene (not a very large scene, but DS4 save takes ages) then will give this a go, thanks again guys! :)

Quote - Nice avatar btw.

Thanks a lot!  That's actually the second time someone mentioned about my avatar.  That's me playing the harmonica in karaoke (with my own music background) at a bar I used to hang out a few years back.  What fond memories, the place was known as "the place where everyone know's your name", where 75% of the people there were "usuals".  You know you're gonna  hear your name as soon as you open the door, and have a great time :)  Pool playing (billiards) was the best, and I've always held that tradition to my heart (a harmonica player and a shark on the table) lol. That's the thing I miss when I quit drinking :(

The bar was called "Blinker Tavern", it was named in the old days (50's or 60's) when they had a blinking stop light on their street.  There was a wonderful lady I was very close to named Sabrina... thus my character's name, Sabrina Blinker (here in the marketplace).

It's all in the matter of experience and what's available.  I've seen quite a few pretty bad Poser renders as well.  For me, my renders in Poser would look worse then in DS, 'cause I have lots of experience in DS.  But not that worse off 'cause shaders and light sets, which gets all the attention, are ready to load and render, whereas in DS, you have to have experience to set proper shaders and lights yourself  'cause most of them don't look good.  I gotta say though, since Genesis came out and more vendors have been actually opening and using DS and getting experienced in it, character settings have been looking better in some products.

Yes, Lux renders (Reality is only a converter) look remarkably better then both renders, Reality does a good job (especially Reality 2) in converting surfaces from DS.

You're asking that in the very wrong forum section, this is the Daz Studio section.  Go to the Poser forum section, I'm sure they'll know where to get it.  (sorry, I don't know where to get it).

shrugs you export it to what ever you'd like (what ever Daz Studio can do).  I simply export and reuse it in Daz Studio, I don't use any other programs.

More than likely you can shrink the bed/sheet that you linked to earlier, as it (one item) is an object with just sheet "morph".  The sheet is not dynamic, it's pre-shaped with settings to set different "pre-loaded shape" settings.  You can't just shape it however you want, it's pre-shaped in limited numberous ways only.  Since you're new in 3D, that's obviously not an easy explanation.  You'll just have to get it and look at it to know what I'm talking about.

Dynamic things, however, forms the shape around whatever you let it fall on, just like a normal sheet.  This bed/sheep prop (we call it static type when referring to non-dynamic) has only certain limited amount of pre-shapes.

What I meant by "froze"... again since you're new, that too might be a hard thing to explain.  To "freeze" a dynamic cloth, you "halt" it from being dynamic anymore, and it won't go in any different shapes again.  In Daz Studio, you export it as an object (such as like the bed/sheet you're talking about except without any pre-shaped options) so you can use it later, but it won't be dynamic in any way.  When I "froze" the dynamic cloth, I was able to re-size it in a different scene when I imported it back to Daz Studio (after exporting it).  But dynamic cloths or clothes while they're alive (not froze), they can be shrinked, but the'll expand back out when you drape (action) it.

I hope I explaned this.  This is the best way I can explain, you'll have to actually experience these type of things to really know what I'm talking about.

Quote - There is the dynamic table cloth. Maybe that could be re-sized and textured to look like a sheet.

Cheers

GG

Unfortunately dynamic cloths in DS don't work that way, it'll enlarge back up unless you apply some shrink, then it'll just wrinkle "shrink".

To make a table cloth look bigger or smaller, what you can do is shrink/enlarge everything else.  I had to do that for a "too small" car cover to cover this large studio type back drop prop.  What I did was shrunk the back drop, drapped the cover, then "froze" it, then exported as an obj file.  Re-sized the backdrop to normal size, then loaded the new object, resized it and put it in it's place.

Quote - I answered the Smoothing Modifier question on the DAZ forums. There are several DForm tutorials in various places. See the "Every week new dynamic clothing" (I think that's the title) thread at the DAZ forums for a link to their freebies - I'm not certain there's a sheet, and not certain it's free if there is. OptiTex dynamics are a special kind of content, they work with other items OK but you can't take an arbitrary model and make it dynamic unfortunately.

He asked for a link, not what you said in some forum site that we may not know, and some thread we may never find.  Not everyone know's that "house of the Rising Sun".

Here's a better answer, it's a video and it answered my question as well (after a long, long, hard, painful search lol). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBGzfNgfdyo

Thank you very much, Kim, that is much appreciated :)  I just emailed them (with a professional attitude lol).
