Yes! I got it working, thanks. I moved the animation frame advance cursor back to the start, and Merge, then applied a Pose Preset I had of it and now it works. 

I also moved the End marker up much closer to the beginning.

But now the next question: Is there a way to limit the range of movement in a previously made by someone else animation? To me her butt bounces a little too high. Is there a way to restrict the range of upward movement there? 

click on that frame where the butt animation goes to high and then modify the dials that make the animation. 

But where are those animation dials? 

Anyone?

Thanks, I'll try that.

Thanks. But I think that is above my experience & skill level. 

Guess I'm out of luck. 

Not familiar with the LIE.

Anyway, if you're a man or woman, you're going to have at least a few small, thin blood vessels visible through your skin in the upper chest area, front shoulder, neck, and legs, more so calf area than thigh. And of course at least a few blue veins running from your biceps down your forearms to those that show up more prominently around your wrist & top of hand. And some people are simply more lean & vascular than others so the blood vessels will show up on them whether they're athletic & buffed or not.

As mentioned earlier, I'm not making her some huge ripped bodybuilder or Amazon, but a slender, petite woman. I don't need lots & lots of veins showing up all over, just a few here & there looking natural in the areas mentioned above. A few faint veins in the arms, upper chest & neck area, and a tiny little one or two on each shoulder. With the veins being a little more pronounced around wrist & hand.

Recently some people released some products with bonus features that let you click for sole detail on the bottom of the feet and also a spinal detail in half & full power that shows up in the render, though not in DS/Poser workspace. But still, I've got both of those and like them both. They're quite useful. I'd like to have something like that for Vascularity.

That's what I was afraid of. I wish someone would make a product like that for rendering into whatever our V4's current skin is. Whether it be, Elite, standard V4 High-Res, or other.

I don't use Vue. Is that expensive? Not sure I want a lot more added expense and learning curve for something outside DS4.

If it were a DS package product I could load onto the current DS high resolution skin made for V4, that would be fine. You're talking over my head with "bump depths."  English translation please?

I was hoping there was a dial somewhere  within DS4 that would do that or a morph package for DS I could get, but without making my girl look like a huge & ripped She-Hulk or Amazon. Not wanting that. Just a light or modest amount of veins in a few areas while leaving her very feminine.

Thanks. I think the Spray Tool is likely to be more useful for my needs. That and the Ron's Brushes water effects that someone linked to elsewhere.

Thanks Xerxes, I'll check em out. Particularly the brushes. 

Btw, Justin, your render "Caught" in the New Staff Picks gallery is Superb! Great job!

Mary, thanks for the info on Pixeluna.com. I looked there too. Good content on that site also. Didn't find what I was looking for, but, good stuff. Worth a bookmark.

Thanks Justin. Yes, I know about the MDC site. It does have a lot of good content for poses and morphs, and other things. I've bought some things from him in the past & dloaded some of the freebies too.

I looked over his latest pose offerings today to see what he had new that I hadn't already seen and/or downloaded, but still didn't find exactly what I was looking for in the way of cuddling poses. I saw one that was kinda maybe in the ballpark, but still not quite there. 

I took one pose I already had a couple nights ago that I thought might work if I turned V4 on her side & lowered her to the ground. Again, somewhat close, but no cigar. 

Quote - Also, if I happen to figure some things out or learn some more about using the UberEnvironment 2 lighting options I will return to post here.

Thanks again~

Please do.

To prixat & Richard,

But if I move the Light Panel or Disc off of that default position, won't that also move the direction or position of the light? 

Well, I remember that I clicked the Base setting first. This is in Uber Environment 2 btw.

And then I think I chose the square Light Panel next. That's the first time and using a low quality setting so it rendered much faster. After undoing that under Edit, I tried the Light Disc instead, and not being very smart chose the level 4 highest quality setting after that. A very long render, beautiful light on her body, but this time the huge light underneath her was round(hence light "Disc")and very very distracting. Making the image unusable. After all, what is a giant glowing white disc doing on the surface of the bed where she is laying?
