The easiest thing would be to reduce the shadows in each light....

You could also move the light around with your mouse.  this would change the direction the lights are coming from but would not affect the shadows themselves.

if you choose a light, you can make adjustments to it in the parameters pallet....

Should this be in the Photoshop forum, perhaps?

Ok...   I'd have expected you to get eyelashes if you applied the skin by clicking an Icon from pose.

Eyelashes generally don't have a texture applied, just a diffuse color and the transparency.  They should look a lot like this in the material room...

And just for future reference, the Advanced Material room is just a different (and potentially more confusing) way of looking at this information.  

Normally, with a store bought skin, the eyelashes are applied as part of the skin and all you have to do is push render.

(To answer your other questions, the model's eyelash is a solid arc of polygons, shaped a lot like a rainbow.   Now, in order to make the eyelashes look realish, we use a transparancy map.  This is a simple black and white image that fits the character's geometry...  the polygons that your male model is made of.     Where the Transparency map is white, the eyelashes appear.)

So...   is the skin made for the model you're using it with?  

If you click Render from the top menus, then Render Settings > Auto Settings is the blue pointer closer to draft or final?

I seem to vaguely recall that setting a non-zero Min Displacement bounds value in manual render settings would help this.....

from the top menu, please Click Render > Render settings

If necessary, please click Manual Settings.  The last slider is Min Displacement settings.  Try 0.1 and see if that solves your issue.

Thanks!

Hello.

do you want to make the model's skin lighter or change the lights so that the shadows cast on her face are lighter?

V7 does not currently work in Poser.

According to DAZ's web site, V5 works with DSON...

You'll need to find the CF (companion files) version of V5 and install her to your Poser runtime.

Good luck!

Hello Scott

Which version of Poser are you using? 

what content have you installed.

hi there...

I'm not sure this is the right forum for your issue... 

Please let me figure out who might be able to help you.

It doesn't? I changed that afterwards, manually in the installer, I think. Are there any fixes for this? How mich Vicy can Poser take? Sorry, I am a total newbe here, and seemingly lost a bit of money. So C7 is just for DAZ, then?

DAZ used to have a return policy...  Vicki 6 works in Poser Via DSON....

You do know Victoria 7 doesn't work in Poser, right?

Did the installer give you the option to install her to Poser?

Try turning off IK

With your model chosen, Click Figure > Use Inverse Kinematics > Uncheck the option for each leg.

this will allow the legs to move when you move the thigh or calf.

Hope this helps!

Victoria 4 is probalby the best supported figure available.   People have been making things for her for almost a decade!   But I don't believe she's free, and the majority of the items that support her are also not free.

If you have any version of Poser, there are a  handful of free characters with clothing and hair you can experiment with.   They're not as nice as the Daz People, but the do fit your first criteria  of Free.

IN the Material room, Advanced

Find Background in the first drop down next to Object.

disconnect the color node from Color.

If you want shadows, cheek   Shadow catch only fir the ground  (Object: Props > Ground)

return to the the Pose Room

(if you don't want shadows, uncheck visible in properties for Ground.)

Thanks Midnight Stories!!!
