Thanks so much for the quick replies! I haven't been able to resolve the problem yet, so here's the exact steps I'm taking. Maybe this will help shed some light. 1) I load the Judy nude model 2) I deleted the face texture from her in the material room 3) I go to the face room and select my photographs and get those lined up on the model (which creates the texture for the face on the fly) 4) Then I click apply to model. For whatever reason the face is still very, very dark every time. I tried rendering it but it renders exactly as it looks on the screen. Thanks for bearing with me all. =) I'm still very new at this.
