Studio's Lighting is not as... weak (?) as Poser's lighting. The settings do not transfer over very well, and they always need to be tweaked. The more Poser lights in a D|S scene, the brighter the scene will be. If you are using some of the DAZ global lighting, you will need to kill off some of the ambient lights to get the same effect. I have yet to figure out what the magic number is for reducing the percentage of the Poser lights in Studio.

Mostlikely, you have all your materials still set to a plastic lighting model. What you need to do is go to your surfaces tab, then click on sideways triangle in upper right and click on show surface list. This will list all the material zones in all of your figures. Doing this will allow you to select multiple material zones at once. Once you have what you want to fix selected, click on the advanced tab on the right side of the surfaces window, and scroll down to the bottom. The lighting model selectoins are a drop down menu, and you can select something else to set how the model reflects light. You can also tweak the glossiness settings from the Advanced menu, it is close the top.

I am not aware of one. There is Windows to the Soul, which is an awesome product.

I initially thought they might bring Studio out as a finished product being the announcement, but - that is an internal project, so there are no agreements to prevent them from making any kind of announcement about that... Not to mention, there seems to be alot of work left to do with Studio. I am betting it is something more along the lines of merging with or buying out a studio or other software company.

Anyone have any samples of the RDNA Duster movement? The price is very compelling, but if it doesn't do what I am looking for, it isn't much good to me...

I am thinking I want poseablitly somewhere between Matrix coats and Batman comic capes, but not Spawn comic capes (miles and miles long ;o)) bah forgot to add - I looked around the RDNA adds, and the examples were kinda sparse.
